I like it too and it made me think both the Axis and the allies might have extended the service life of some of their older bombers by reconfiguring them into gunships.

How about a Ju-86R (or P? Anyway, the high altitude version) gunship? How practical would that be? /s

A Diamler Benz 601 equipped Avia B. 135 fighter plane.

You know, I never quite realised it, but the Avia B. 135 has a surprisingly modern fuselage behind the cockpit.

I don't think you'd want to use a plane designed for high altitudes for a gunship, be kind of a waste especially for WWII.

Ju-86R Gunship.

I could see the Germans also loading anti-personal bombs on these gunships.

Do you have one of the 109 with the late war tall rudder?

I have to check

 

[Uruk]

By late war do you mean G-10 or K-4?

Yes either of those would be fine.
