Hmmm...does anyone do a conversion for that I wonder?

There is now a 1/72 conversion for the XB-39 available on Ebay. I know it's not your preferred scale, but....

How about a B-44B/washington B.2, or MR.2, in RAAF service with twin ADEN turrets replacing the four .50 cal. turrets? Start with a B-50 kit, add the turrets and guns from a Tu-4 conversion, and then add whatever other mods seem appropriate for your approach.
