DO IT!!!

Then do it to a Stuka or a Stormovik. Those birds are ugly already, just put on the dusting gear and turn the back cockpit into a hopper and you're ready to go!

Nah, put the hopper where the front cockpit is, it'll be over the wings, next to the center of lift, thus it won't affect the CG too much.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
