I see no reason why you can't fit a thruster in her, although i'm not sure if she ever had one, but there is no reason why you can't!

 Billings zwarte zee has a single prop and no bow thruster.  :-))

Hi, I am building one now. There is no bow thruster on this model but if you want one, there is ample room to fit one. My own choice is to build it as per a model of the real boat but options are open.   :-)) :-))

Which Billings Version Darrencuk? They did a stick on frame and a plastic hull version. One is easier to conver than the other.

Drill out the holes file to size, fit thruster and trim pipe down to size, use P38 to fill the remaining gaps, sand to smooth finish paint job done.
