i was thinking about forgotten planes earlier this evening and this bird wasnt the first i thought of, but i figured it might be one of the easier mods. there were several different versions, one of which looks like we could use a resized B-17F nose on it.



heres a different version with a solid oval shaped nose

for those who dont know, there were certain US fighter/bomber groups during the war who flew this plane. One droop snoot, carrying a bombardier, would lead a formation of bomb laden p38s and level bomb a target. There were a couple of these groups in the MTO IIRC.
