DO216 PATROL CARGO FLYING BOAT Dornier developed this flying boat project after their Do P. 192 Do 214 project was cancelled by the RLM in June 1943. It started its design life under the designation P. 174 I, but was given the Do 216 number by the RLM later. Intended for an anti-shipping role. The Do 216 was manned by a crew of ten, and there were to be seven remote-controlled gun stations located at various place along the fuselage. Offensively, the 216 could carry up to a 5000 kg (11020 lbs) weapons load, which included various guided weapons mounted in underwing racks. model and textures by Richard Alexander van Hien rvanhien_at_uol. com. br, or ravhien_at_fazenda. sp. gov. br
