Something new and odd coming in 1/48:
The Big Gimper:
What is the name of Larry Bell is this horror? Is the rear cockpit used when you need to fly with your mother-in-law?
ChernayaAkula:
The obvious idea is to ditch the forward cockpit, install a second engine in its place and make it a racer! :icon_beer:

Two P-63E-1s were modified by Bell with a separate observer seat in the rear fuselage, located behind the engine and mounted under a separate canopy. A probe was mounted which extended through the spinner, and to make space for the observer the radio equipment had to be moved forward into the armament bay. The aircraft carried the civilian registrations NX41963 and NX41964.

I like your thinking.
Another option might be to give the observer a gun.
