Probably taken from a Beverely with the cargo doors removed. They were quite a commonly used as camera platforms for nose-on air-to-air pics in the 50s and 60s.

More recently it could have been taken from a Hercules with the rear ramp down.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

This finless Twin-Hunter is confirmed, but the exact width of the noses seems much bigger than previously estimated... ;)

This Twin-Hunter with noses in opposite directions was not a flying machine but a merry-go-round for little children. <_<
