Nice concept.

Room for a 3rd pusher engine behind the cockpit as a flight of fancy perhaps.

Interesting work, Brian.

BTW the FW 189 V14, a converted Fw 189A-1 taken from the assembly line at Bordeaux, was equipped with Gnome-Rhone
14M radials as the prototype for the proposed Fw 189 E series. The aircraft crashed while being prepped for a flight to
Germany for continued testing.

An Fw 189B (the stepped nose trainer) might be a good basis for a night-fighter.

The Wooksta!

The were some standard Fw189As fitted with radar for use against Po2 biplane night bombers.  I doubt it'd be much use against anything with a higher performance.

What a great idea.  And some bold creativity you've got there, Tuck.  Suitably impressed over here!   :bow:

Well she's all finished.  I must say, this came out swimmingly.  I could not have imagined that these two different A/C would combine so easily.  And who knows how she would have performed?  Not bad, I'll bet.  Hope you like it.  BTW, donor kits are 1/48 Hasegawa Hs129 and MPM 1/48 Fw 189.  Of course, she had to be an Eastern Front Bird. :wub:

As in "Twin-boom" aircraft!

Nice job.

Nice...I assume the Fw129 had a tail gunner?
