Regarding a paper only Typhoon based design found on SPF (link below):
Early in 1940 the Air Ministry issued Specification F.4/40 calling for a two-seat, high-altitude interceptor to counter the threat posed by high flying reconnaissance Junkers Ju 86 P.
To meet this requirement, Hawker proposed the project P.1004, a 25 per cent scaled-up version of the Typhoon with a second crewman, pressurised cockpit and six wing-mounted Hispano cannons.
Early 1941 the Specification was revised as F.7/41 and the P.1004 was dropped in favour of the Westland Welkin.
P.1004 technical data
Power plant: One Napier Sabre Mk 1 S.M, 24 cylinder ‘H’, liquid cooled engine, rated at 1,850 hp, driving one de Havilland three-bladed constant-speed airscrew, wingspan: 52 ft (15.8 m), length: 39 ft (11.9 m), wing surface: 405 sq.ft (37.7 sq.m), estimated maximum weight: 13,930 lbs (6,319 kg) with 283 gal. fuel, estimated maximum speed: 380 mph (611 kph), estimated ceiling: 37,000 ft (12,280 m), rate of climb: 2,250 ft/min, armament: six wing-mounted 20 mm Hispano Mk.II cannons.
I believe this is buildable.
I would need a 6' fuselage inset starting at the end of the canopy.
The wing chord taper is good. Need to find/build the 4 1/2' extensions. Suggestions?
A MK.II could be built up using wing radiators (Tempest MK.I) or a radial engine (Tempest MK.II) . Need to research engine performance at attitude.
Attached are photos of the Brengun Typhoon MK.Ia kit overlaid on Justo's drawings (98-99% to 1/72 scale).
