I went to the air force museum in Dayton, Oh. thought you would like these. Notice he has bomb drops and not plane kills, he's no where near as good as you! Enjoy-- Gary Davis aka Jaeger1:

Such a cool plane, even better in real life.

Just a guess but is it a radar pod?

I'd like to know what is sitting on the instrument deck under the wind screen. You can only make out the base of the structure.
