How about adding a rear gunner, bombs and spats?

Did I mention that I love spats? :wub:

P.S. Alternatively, how about a rear gunner, floats and a torpedo?

P.P.S. You could also add a little stub wing for that sesquiplane layout you're so fond of.

Was just wondering that yesterday at the LHS myself.
Considering floats and a twinned tailfin (like that of a Ventura, etc.).

But how to get a decent windscreen in place????

Long-range recce aircraft for 'accidental' overflights of the IJN in Truk while attempting further records.  Perahps even in one of those 'groovy' USAAC wargames schemes?

Shouldn't it be a Canadian SAR aircraft.   Instead of a windscreen just place a very large binoccle periscope out the front, put it on skiis, and clear prop!  Toque not included.

To close to reality, we just retired ours last year !

:P

I like the idea of a windscreen and a gunner. It would look good in spats with the old Yankee yellow and blue AAC scheme.

Have fun !

D'Oh!!!

Nah, it's just too old-looking for the novel perfection that the esteemed "T-Tail" represents...   -_-

Floats/Skis is good, really good.

How's about a really cool late forties Hot-Rod scheme (pearlescent paint, flames, moon-eyes etc), a couple of big racing numbers from a passing NASCAR kit, a couple of sponsors stickers, a three (or four, or five), bladed prop, some aerodynamic SPATS (Hello BdaB  :cheers: ).....

.....there ya go, Post-War Pylon Racer !

You could add a ridiculously large gondola to the underside. Some large bulbous turrets some extra engines make it a lot less aerodynamic.

Wack some French roundels on it and say it is a mid war bomber.
