Add in the rockets like the RAF Liberators used:

I've got a 1/72 resin set of those for one of my Libs, Pavla makes them IIRC

I'm struggling to think of a place to mount the 60lb rockets, so I may scrap that idea.  I was thinking of putting 4x 20mm Hispano Mk. II cannon under the nose (from a Canberra), and as stated, the proximity of the wing and engines to the nose is a problem. Must have had a few too many when I came up with this idea... 

But, it is armed with:

1x 75mm cannon,
4x 20mm cannon,
4x .50cals,
8x .303cals (Dorsal and tail turrets)

As well as the toys in the bay.

Should be enough to ruin the day of any enemy sailor/submariner.... 

Are you going to mount the 4X20mm cannon like this:

That's the plan.

A dual 40mm 'S' gun mounting was schemed for the Wellington and would work on the Halifax.

The 75mm and 25-pounder would be ok for anti-shipping - but as for anti-submarine work, these weapons are to slow in firing-rate.
That`s the way to go Jon!
40mm - Hard hitting, quick firing and with a good stand off performance!

M.A.D

With all this heavy ordnance firing from the poor old Lib, you better kit it out with MUCH bigger engines or it will stop flying when the gunner pulls the tigger!
