all B-24s look this way.

granted stretching the center window up and down wont spot on match the real thing since its so low poly but it will capture the look of  the real thing. the current ah2 version does not capture the look of the b24 from forward angles because of the canopy inaccuracy of the front window. (the nose should also be horizontal and flat like the fuselage spine behind the nose dome window.)
