A Tiger Force Hornet

Favourite twin-engine (prop) fighters, no particular order:  Beaufighter,

On the train home yesterday I was musing on what a Beaufighter Mk II converted to have a pair of Sabres from the KP tempest would look like ? Mind you does anyone do a 1/72 Mk II ?

You could get two Matchbox Tempests, which comes with separate Sabres, and you still have Mk. II with a Centaurus left over... 
I already considered mounting Griffon engine pods (with integrated coolers) from a Shackleton (or similar Merlins from a Lincoln), with simple 4-blade props, though.

I don't believe this conversation.......... I have just acquired 2 Matchbox Tempests to re-engine an Airfix Beaufighter. The original plan was for Centauruses but this morning I thought why not the Sabres? So much for originality! 🤪

Doug mate ..trust me originality is getting harder and harder on here 
Next will be a Beaufighter with turbines and contraprops on it .

Yeah, two Pythons, that should really shift it along a bit.

If I was a pilot ..I'd want to fly it for certain

Good ideas pop up in different places!

And there's nothing wrong with doing something that someone else has already done.
1. It's not in *your* collection/model shelf, and
2. The hard stuff has already been done, so you know where the pitfalls are... 

-That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it...

[The Wooksta!]

I have a blanket rule that if something has been done, I don't do it. Although if I think it's not quite right or has been done badly (ie not to my standards), I'll do it anyway.

Tell me about it!
I'm not letting what the companion Beaufort is to look like

[The Wooksta!]

Trent, Tyne or Dart would me more suitable. Python is way too big for a Beau.

I've yet to mould the Tyne I have sitting there, but I've several Matchbox Beaufighters to apply them to.

Fair enough, to each their own.   

[Wardukw]

I'm kinda like that too.
To me it's seems like I m just copying someone else's work .
And to quote one of the most famous lines from TV..Homey don't play dat 

[The Wooksta!]

To be fair, there are times where two whiffed can have the same idea separately.

[Wardukw]

Sameas the development of the jet engine I guess.
