B-26B-10 through B-26B-55—Beginning with block 10, the wingspan was increased from 65 feet (20 m) to 71 feet (22 m), to improve handling problems during landing caused by a high wing load; flaps were added outboard of the engine nacelles for this purpose also. The vertical stabilizer height was increased from 19 feet 10 inches (6.05 m) to 21 feet 6 inches (6.55 m). The armament was increased from six to twelve .50 caliber machine guns; this was done in the forward section so that the B-26 could perform strafing missions. The tail gun was upgraded from manual to power operated. Armor was added to protect the pilot and copilot. (1,242-built)[38]

Other than the slight remod of Veltro's 1stGen, available in our handy dandy download section.

Cause they really weren't used for strafing. In fact, in the ETO, many had the package guns removed to save weight. And you're not counting the gun mounts correctly. Count all the mounts -- turrets, tunnel, waist, tail, bombardier, etc.

 

If you actually do the real research, like the Osprey Combat Units, Detail & Scale and a host of others books.

 

Other than the link actually going for the Martin Marauder, which you may be confusing with the Douglas Invader, which definatley was used in the ground attack role. After all, it wasn't a Medium Bomber ™ but an Attack aircraft

just a thought as it was feasible back then
