Hi, does anyone know if there are any of these types available for cfs 3? See here:

Do 17 Z-7/Z-10 Kauz I/II After bomber production ended in 1940, the Z model was modified with a "solid" nose from the Ju 88C, fitted with one 20 mm MG FF cannon and three 7.92 mm MG 17s, to be used as night fighters. Three prototypes were converted from existing Z-series airframes to the Do 17 Z-7 Kauz I (screech-owl) configuration. Later the design was further modified to the Do 17 Z-10 Kauz II, the solid nose now containing an IR searchlight for the Spanner infrared detection system. The Z-10 was armed with four 7.92 mm MG 17 machine guns grouped above the IR light and two 20 mm MG FF in the lower nose. Only ten of these Kauz II designs were converted from existing Z-series airframes. The Spanner system proved to be essentially useless and many Z-10 were left without detection system. At least one Z-10, coded CD+PV, was used as a flying testbed to help developing the Lichtenstein radar system in late 1941/1942.[47] Do 215
