Looking for twin-fuselage in German with Google (Doppelrumpf), I found this at:
http://airventure.de/oppenheim05_preview.htm
First I thought it was actually a twin-An-2, while it was a visual mistake of 2 same airplanes in front of one another... alas.
Have someone other misleading very true pictures this way? (That may be done with scale models, choosing the right angle...)

What if this was an asymmetric double-plane? (port Learjet fuselage, starboard Gufstream fuselage) :blink:  :wacko:
What would be the name? Learstream I guess :) , Gulfjet sounding less pleasant. :(

I really like that twin An-2 idea!  :cheers:

At http://www.airwarfareforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=5221 I have seen weird 1944 pictures of Avro Ansons above one another, in JHM's Alberta, Canada... Like a vertical twin-plane, or a Mistel compound or... hum, well I let you judge by yourself, according to your personal experience... as modeller I mean or uh, well... as parents of baby-planes or else...

That incident happened while both aircraft were on approach to land. They landed fairly conventionally, but I don't recall if there were any injuries.

That pic might be why there were so many Ansons around...it was mating season!  ;)

Holy (Alberta Grade "A" Beef) Cow!

It actually looks like the lower Anson's landing gear are nearly holding up, too!

Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

That may not be the landing gear...it could be the Anson's famed "third leg".  ;)

From http://www.airventure.de/riat2002_1.htm here is another kind of mistakes: tandem wings that are not.
This is not exactly twin-tail but twin-plane somehow...

(Thanks to braincell37's topic http://www.whatifmodelers.com/forum//index...showtopic=10112 directing to http://www.ipms-seattle.org/Springshow/200...craft/index.htm )

Here is a weird model from IPMS-Seattle 2006 show: at first sight (less than 1 inch thumbnail picture), this was looking like a Zwilling...
Well, sort of: a Mirror-effect "double" 162... side by side (without glasses): one normal fuselage and one upside down, funny! (it could not fly, but desk models are not intended to fly anyway). :)

PS. Sorry for the modeller, this is not exactly his/her model shot, I have removed the swastikas that I don't like, while I love the rest!

How about a double, Mistel, Asymetric Strikemaster?

Second to Alvis' twin-F-18 model: almost a twin-F-18 art...

From blurred drawings, it is easy to think a single-boom aircraft is a twin-boomer... See the Blackburn Beverley, here the rear boom(s) seem to come from the engine (Argosy like), not from the cargo pod:
