[max m will]

I'm trying to find pics and/or cutaway drawings of the DO217. I'd like to have internal shots of of the engine nacelles as well. Could anyone point me in the right direction? I really would not like to build the model I have of it "right out of the box".

Schnautzer - fantastic!!!! ...you wouldn't have anything on the Do 215B-4 by any chance..??

(if I know rightly, there were considerable internal and external detail changes between the 215 and 217)

Do215 B-4 is the same as the Do215 B-2 The B2 being a Fernerkunder (long-range reconnaissance craft) the B4 an Aufklärer (wich means the same) but with better equpement.

Cheers mate! I'm looking for interior details for a Hungarian kite I've got planned.

 

[Snautzer01]

The Do 215 was developed as an export version of the Do17Z serie. Produced in at Dornier/Oberpfaffenhofen. The Do217 was a new development (it could dive bomb) so structural it was quite different.
The Hungarians had 10 ( coded F.707 - F.809) Do215B-4 on strength from 1942 till 1944. Used them for long range recce with the 3/2 Kozelfelderito szazad-3/2

Look at how the recce camera was build in in a dish like plating. Besides that it was dimensional the same as a Do17Z.

Cheers mate, much appreciated! So the 215 is basically a Do 17Z with recce cameras then.

Re the Magyar Do 215s, what is your source of the 3/2 közelfelderítő század ('Close-range reconnaissance squadron' info?
haven't gone through all my info yet, but so far they are rather associated with the 1/1 Távolfelderítő (long-range) squadron.

Here's some pics of the Magyar birds in any case. The one I have planned is Do 215B-4 F.708 of the 1. őnálló távolfelderítő osztály (independent long-range reconnaissance unit) of the 1/1 Távolfelderítő század, operating on the Eastern front in 1942.

I combined this information from hikoki Hungarian Eagles. Re-reading i should have noted the difference between squadron level and group level. The Do215 when in front line service were long-range recce

So the 215 is basically a Do 17Z with recce cameras then.

No, it's a Do 17Z with DB 601 liquid cooled engines - nothing more. Was used in the same bomber role as the Do 17, as Recce version and as night fighter.
