Watching this model, it's incredible to see it can actually fly and it must have been astounding to see the real one take off since the Dornier DO X could and did land at sea for refueling.
Note: you might want to silence the awful music which runs up to about +2:00.
You may not think this bird can fly but, oh, yeah, it certainly can and looks surprisingly elegant doing it.

I'm not sure why but RC model aircraft seem to be bigger in Germany than anywhere else and the craft of building them seems hugely popular there.
Here's some of the actual history of the aircraft. 20th Century Aviation Mag: The 12 Engine Dornier DOX Flying Boat
You bet it was real but not many were constructed. Sadly, none exist today since they were built long before WWII and none survived the war.
Check out the people on the wing and also the front of the fuselage. This was one huge aircraft and I love the way it has a bridge for the flight crew just as if it were an ocean vessel.
