I'm glad you think so...

The idea was inspired by the Lancaster to start with...

Isn't the base aircraft a Douglas XB-19?

I think you can get it by scaloraming a Mosquito nose. Just one idea.

Do you mean like scaling a Mosquito up to the B-17's size? and then adding the guns and so forth?

1.) The XB-15's profile if rotated nose up around 2-3 degrees does vaguely look like the Mosquito NF variants if you blend the nose turret with the nose: You'd have to thin the top fuselage a bit however.
2.) I've tried doing a scale-o-rama with the XB-15 and DH Mosquito but it's very difficult as the engines of the Mossie partially occlude the nose -- cutting out the engines and wings is easier said than done.
