Straight across in the middle and then add the normal tailplanes outboard?

[Captain Canada]

I think that would be the best course. Each fuselage having their own seems funny, but I want to keep that Spit look.

Cheers !

Also a good start on the twin-Spit. Not sure about the tail feathers....original on both ? Straight across like the P-82 ? Straight across and then the originals ? Love Spifire tails and don't want to lose their look !

I would go like this Todd, but I've also added leading edge radiators right across the center section and a bit at each wing root on the outer wings, worked out to be the same area as four regular radiator openings




but then that's just my opinion

[Captain Canada]

Ya that looks about right :-)

[KiwiZac]

Yeah, I'm gonna need to see more of that, Kitnut617.

From an engineering PoV I feel both tails should always be joined on this sort of aircraft in order to reduce twisting forces on the wing centre section.
And from an aesthetic PoV I feel that you need to retain the stabilisers outboard of the fins so it still looks like a spitfire at the back.

Anyone thought of building a twin with one Hurricane fuselage and one Spitfire?

Both Mitchell and Camm would be horrified! 

It'd be a pain to get to fly straight in the RW I bet.

[Captain Canada]

I really want to leave the tails as is, just looks so Spitfire. But I know I should joining them. Must be a compromise out there....maybe a thinner center section to join them but keep the look.

Still plugging away at the rest of them. Almost cut the nose off the D.520 last night as well, but backed off looking at the pencil drawings by the boy. Maybe I'll cut it off anyway and just leave the underside as is !

Pics later.

Single engine Bf.110 so far. Or Bf.55 if you will



The D.520 with new markings ;-)

So...I sat down to watch the Jays game and start hacking away at that Dewoitine, grabbed my razor saw and started cutting where I had decided last night, using the exhaust stubs as a reference. hacked the nose off, and lo and behold, I was one exhaust stub farther back than I had meant to be. Glued the nose back on and I'll hack it off in the correct spot later.....

Cuuuuuuuute!

I like the look of the Bf110 - perhaps a recon machine, with those wings? Or a German analogue for the Battle?

What he said - cuteness overload...
"You weren't really intending to use that lap, were you, Dad? It just looks so lonely and bare without a Kitty on it..."

Either that, or "You've forgotten to fill the food bowl again... don't make me deploy the grappling hooks of owwieness..."

[AURI]

Love your idea with spitfire and Bf-110 single engine bf-110 for fast bomber or recon ?

Those are some fine whiskers . Obviously the nightfighter version of Felinus Modellerus
