More accurately, the turret Beaufighter, but with a bit more power and twin fins.

Just a taped up proof of concept so far, but it does give me an idea for something else.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

What are you doing for engines?  I had the idea of doubling up single-row radials, but I've no idea if that'd work.  My technical advisor for things like that passed away three years ago ...  :(

I thought the same at first glance.
Is the turret sticking with quad 303's? Or up gunning to twin 50's?
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

I went with my daughter to see the anime Spy Family. I significant role was played by a pretty good representation of a Beaufighter. Except for the part about a cargo compartment. I don't know, maybe there was one in that big fuselage!

I'm sticking with the four .303s, a possible second may get a Shattipuss turret dropped in.

20mm would be something else as a defensive turret for an aircraft that size, For a Martin .50 turret I used one from an MPM A-20
