Default B-18 Bolo from a Top Flite DC-3 kit?

I've always liked the Douglas B-18 "Bolo" bomber but nobody seems to offer a kit, or even plans, for one. Since the real B-18 was based on the Douglas DC-3 airframe, I'm wondering if the Top Flite DC-3 kit would be a good starting point? The wings and tailfeathers are similar between the two planes but the fat-bellied fuselage of the Bolo would be almost a complete new build with little of the Top Flight fuselage being usable. Anybody know if an article has been published doing this?
