FPV-equipped scale variants, certainly. This model below would look amazing in Ukrainian colours.

Given that this is not a suicide drone and cannot hover and drop grenades from directly above, what sort of armament would be possible? Could we build a scale P-39 around a single nose mounted for machine gun, like this one? By omitting the stock, etc. we should be able to get the gun without ammunition down to about 5 lbs. But can our FPV pilot aim the gun?

Use it as a drone hunter. And yes, an RC aircraft can have an FPV setup, much like a flight SIM with cockpit view turned off (leaving just the gunsight reticle on screen).

And for the nose armament, why not a belt-fed 12 gauge shotgun with slug or sabot rounds?

Too much recoil I think.

I must admit I have often thought that the Ukrainians should be fitting Bren guns to high speed fixed wing drones for use as drone killers and for strafing. They would need to fit a bigger magazine but the Ukrainians are good at improvisation so that should not be a problem.

As far as I know the Bren was the only MG that had negative recoil - that means it moves towards the target when fired - so that makes it ideal for fixed wing drones where you do not want a short burst to stall the drone.
