Alemart_el_Redentor, yes. This is the same mod that Ranwers made the new cockpit for.

Yes, there is a description in the game object viewer. At least there is supposed to be.

During the war, Droop Snoot nose kits were built and sent to any squadron that wanted a Droop Snoot to lead other P-38's, or any other fighter squadron like the 56th, to level bomb high threat targets from high altitude. The other planes would fly in formation and drop their bombs when the Droop Snoot signaled the drop. I don't know how many were actually built/converted but I have photo's of at least a dozen different examples. In the Pacific some had the bombsight removed and were configured with a comfortable chair to shuttle high ranking officers to forward bases. It was the fastest way to travel the long distances in the Pacific.
