Yeah, it's gorgeaus and a grat groun attack plane (my dad flew it when he was 2° and 1° Leautenent In the Fuerza Aerea Uruguaya, and always loved that plane).
PS: It's not a "bomb bay doors" its a gear bay door, the gear retracts frontwards :D

so, take the 410...
Raise the tail surfaces to "T" configuration
put the ´39 nose gear in the bomb bay, remove rear wheel
remove the rear gunner guns/seat/cockpit view
replace MG 151/20 with modern 20mm Cannons (USAF?)
steal a bunch of MK, 82 Bombs from a skyraider squadron

presto ^^

:D
