Well, chaps - it's good to know there are a few souls out there who really want to see this bird in the game, and are willing to do something about it. 
Magpie - many thanks for your kind offer. Your point about good blue prints is a key issue. I downloaded some scale drawings of various early Do17 versions awhile back, and quite honestly, they didn't cut the mustard
What we need are some good hi-res drawings which include good fuselage and wing foil cross-sections. Internal airframe details would also be good. A preliminary search for websites and books that could provide good enough drawings didn't reveal too much, so if anyone out there knows of any good drawings either on the net, or published, let us know :wink:
As for photo references - anybody that can contribute (particularly cockpit references) will be welcome
I'm assuming most folks would like a Z variant - much needed for Canon's new map, and any early war campaigns :wink:
Canon - absolutely yes on on your offer to do the template skin You must have your hands full - what with the Maps, and your family - so your offer is appreciated It will be a while, but if we can get the 3d model built and mapped, you can work your magic on it :wink:
Slow & american - if you can input and if you started any work that could be used, that would be great. A build from scratch will be - as Magpie says - immense, and if we can assemble a team for the 3d work, it will be easier for everyone, I hope
Anyway, Chaps, I hope we can get a ball rolling here.
