I see they have three options for the Basler BT67 in the one true scale:

• Basler AC47T Fantasma (Latin American A.F. Gunship BT67)
• Basler BT-67 Turbo Dakota Conversion
• South Africa C-47TP Turbo Dak conversion

Bristol Beaufighter Mk II (Merlin Powered) Early Conversion (Airfix)

Conversion set for the recent Airfix Bristol Beaufighter kit to make an early Rolls Royce Merlin powered Mk2. This set has the earlier hidden exhausts with a single outlet pipe each side.

Bristol Beaufighter Twin Tail Prototype Conversion

Conversion for the recent Airfix Bristol Beaufighter to make the rather different looking Twin Tail prototype. Decals are included for the fuselage serial and prototype 'P'.

Thinking either Merlin conversion combined with the twin-tail conversion would make a unique looking aircraft.

I have in the stash the old High Planes kit. These conversions would result in a much better looking build.
