Front engine circular radiator is located nose of the aircraft and rear engine radiator is located under the wing.
Also you can see ram air intakes for the engines located both engine side.
Inside of ram air intake, you can see two stage three speed machanical supercharger.

Hi! Dornier Do-317.
Wiki says that
"In June 1940, Dornier produced plans for further development of the Do 217, which would have a pressurized cabin and more powerful engines (DB 604 or Jumo 222) and would be designated the Do 317. The Do 317 was one of the proposals submitted to the RLM for the "Bomber B" project. Two versions of the Do 317 were proposed: the simplified Do 317A powered by two DB 603A engines and featuring conventional defensive armament, and the more advanced Do 317B with DB 610A/B engines, remotely aimed Fernbedienbare Drehlafette-style gun turrets, heavier bombload, and an extended wing.
Six prototypes of the Do 317A were ordered, and the first of these, the Do 317 V1, commenced its flight test program on 8 September 1943. The Do 317 V1 was very similar in appearance to the Do 217, but featured a pressurized cabin and triangular tail fins. Trials with the Do 317 V1 revealed no real performance advance over the Do 217, so it was decided to complete the remaining five prototypes without cabin pressurization equipment and employ them as Henschel Hs 293 missile launchers. In this form the prototypes were redesignated Do 217R. At this time, the Do 317B project was abandoned due to changing wartime conditions."

Hi,
I displayed before in replies 26,74 & 97 some early Dornier X Projects or the concepts which led to it,
but there was a more,one of them was a 48 passenger giant flying boat,with 12 motors,but differs
from obvious drawings that a four engines mounted above the fuselage not the wing,I will try to
remember the source.

Thanks for posting. It looks as though the span and length are written under the front and side views, but the image's size makes reading them impossible. Hesham, I don't suppose you've seen a higher-res version of this drawing?hesham said:
Justo Miranda supplied length, span and height earlier in this thread, but the numbers seem unrealistically small--the span given is well under that of a Bf109E, for example, and that plane was as small as a single-DB601-powered fighter could practically be designed. The P.59 had two DB601s.

So… I used a drawing from Dornier 335 Arrow, by Smith, Creek and Hitchcock, to estimate scale. It's an inboard profile that shows the engines. Using the dimensions of a DB601, I scaled the P.59 to 12.5 m length and 10.6 m span. This value is probably close, but the authors say nothing about the provenance of the drawing, so I may just be reverse-engineering someone else's guess.

There was a Do 335 A-6 and a Do 335 B-6. The document you link to, Baubeschreibung Nr. 1600, describes the A-6. Baubeschreibung Nr. 1603 describes the B-6.
See p69 of J Richard Smith and Eddie Creek's Dornier Do 335 book for a description of the (fairly minor) differences between the two.
