There is a finished external model DO-17Z.
This model is not build by me but I know a creator.

But I still dont know really good 3dsmax creators here ...
So I cant offer this model to anybody which have positive mind,there is need guy which really know very good import problematics,limitation of Il2 engine and have good 3dsmax knowledge for update model.

So if there is any good 3dsmax creator which have interest update DO-17 model for game contact me via PM.

Importing an existing model would be the quickest way forward, I agree. but as you say, there aren't too many people that I know of outside of the AAA Mod team with the expertise to optimise such a model for the IL2 engine. Presumably, Jolly, Magpie and a few others in the team have this knowledge, but then their hands are full with current ongoing projects, such as the Lancaster. So if there is anyone else out there who knows how to do this and would like to take it on, do step forward - Magot's offer is definately worth taking on if the right person can be found.

The very best drawings of the Do 17Z (and 17M/P/215), to my knowledge, are contained in the recent Kagero book. They are fineline Autocad drawings with a full set of former profiles for both fuselage and wing. I have many references on the subject of Dornier bombers, and these are without doubt, the best I've seen. I also have some detailed schematics of the interior layout, which may be of interest.

Username - many thanks for your offer - PM will be sent shortly

And yes, I can definitely squeeze in time for this much-needed aircraft. It really doesn't take me long to knock up a template, and so if you can provide me with an unwrapped model tga (once you've built the beauty) I can make a lovely skin for it
