You probably already realise the J would need a new bombardier/navigator pit, new nose turret (MPC or Emerson), new tail turret (MPC; only a few used the same D tail turret), reworked top turret (sight and dome), and probably major waist changes depending on which J. Monguse has done all the research and knows better than I how much new work would be needed.

Oh is that all?
Yeah, I realized there were quite a few differences externally between the D and J and of course having ANY B-24 flyable would be amazing and the D is definitely a very useful model to have for nearly every theatre that this game has. But it is quite a realization when you list some of the key details that change... quite a lot.
