English Electric Canberra B (i) 6/8 Gun Pack and Cargo Bay

The English Electric Canberra is arguably the best jet bomber ever designed. It is unique looking with a huge array of weapons.

What I'm requesting is three parts:

Canberra B.1 through B (i).6 Cockpit.

What it would be is a two seater cockpit, one in the pilot seat and one in the bombardier seat up front. It is mainly because this layout is incredibly difficult to replicate ingame.

The B (i).8 introduced a new fighter like cockpit, which was oddly offset to the right. This is even harder to replicate ingame.

Canberra Interdictor Gun Pack/Bomb Bay

The interdictor versions of the Canberra halfed the bomb bay but using the rear half, a new gun pack with four Hispano V 20mm cannons with over 2000 rounds was put in place. This still gave room for 3000lbs of internal weaponry while have potent offensive armament.

Ingame this gunpack would probably use the brilliant BDArmoury.

Well, it would be greatly appreciated for these cockpits (I'm looking at you CoffeeIndustries!) and the gun and weapons bay to be made. It would help greatly all replica makers or guys who just want cool weaponry and cockpits.

Cheers for reading.

A little offtopic:

While US-built planes are flashy and Russian planes are utilitarian, UK-built planes are just ... elegant. From Spitfire to Vulcan, there is something special about them.

However, my favorite fighter plane is P-38.

Yeah, the P-38 is great - it'll get you home, but I'd fly a Spitfire over that anyday. I completely agree, but the Canberra needs to be remembered ^
