This would be an awesome addition. The nickname "Droop Snoop" was given to Lightnings which had bombardier-type noses. These planes carried Norden Bomb sights and guided fleets of bomb laden P-38's to their targets. P-38L's were converted to this role.

Its unarmed.

Lets get a Mosquito B.IX first. Unarmed except for a single 4,000lb "Cookie".

Droop Snoot! I think Pyro asked a while back if anyone had photos of the nose interior.

Karnak; apparently only 4 B.IX(90 PR.IX) were made. However, they made alot of the pressurised cabin B.XVI(1200 B.XVI, 433 PR.XVI) with the same engines and bulged bomb-bay. It could do well over 400mph at 30k I think.

Unfortunately the B.XVI is probably too "uber" for the germans to handle, so I guess the RAF will get a 1942 B.IV or something instead.
