That windscreen gap is something else! Can you make it contact at front and just build up the rear, since it has a simpler cross-section?
Things under the wings! A great build philosophy. Thou hadth just read my mind Dave! I have a HP Hastings which I just learned also carried drop tanks.
Smacks of the Dart Herald, that could be ordered with extra under wing tanks, but very few airlines actually did.
...Never saw one of those either.
