May be I'm wrong but the Bf 110D-0 & D-1 are the Dackelbauch version.
Anyway good job!!

It's those "minor 3D corrections" of yours that I love so much. :wink:

Me too

The initial D-0 version did have the Dackelbauch. The D-1 had the attachments to have the Dackelbauch fitted but not always as they also could attach bomb racks in its place.
The D-1 version was a minor player in the Bf-110D family and often confused with the D-3 variant. What mainly saw combat was the D-0/B with Erpr 210 during the Battle of Britain and the D-3 variant which saw extensive service on many fronts.

The D-3 was designed specifically not have attachments for the Dackelbauch instead having fuel tanks under the wings and an oil tank underneath its center fuselage...along with bomb racks.

Hi!

It's all correct , I would like to specify that the abandonment of Dackelbauch was due his tendency to chatch fire due the gasoline vapors remained inside after the fuel consumption and that my source refere that the underneath oil tank was employed only for long distance flights with the huge wing tanks and not during normal range flight. The extended tail was a standard issue for the D3 with a float inside!

See we have another Bf-110 lover, eh?

So MTO convoy escort flight equal oil tank involved? Can't wait!
