Ahh yes. Another fine enlightening combo

Foresee 1/72 bomber: 1/48 or 1/32 He-111 with 1/72 interior and 1/72 Constellation wings.

a four-engine He-111 should'a been built in real life !
Just replace the tip-pods with Me-109 parasite fighters & one of their towed fuel tanks behind

Luft 46' Appropriately streamlined fuselage to go with those wings.

Yep, that combo works really well

The earlier, 4-engined Heinkel/Constellation made me think of a Big Brother for the He 116 mailplane.

That looks great! The elevators may get a bit warm from the exhausts, though.

Nice! That almost looks like a radar nose on the Type 138A Beaufighter

Westland Whirlwind competitor?

Bristol's answer to the Vickers Wellesley . . .

Thinking more the Welkin, but earlier, high-altitude interceptor to shoot down Ju86s . . .

cheers,

Not with those engines unless there is something going on that we can't see.

There is . . .

Those aren't Beaufighter Hercules engines under those cowlings, but rather two of the special, two stage supercharged Pegasus engines used by the original Bristol 138A. Armament would be four rifle-calibre Brownings.
My scenario is 1939-40, with the Ju86s flying photo recce missions over England prior to Operation Sealion . . .

cheers,
Robin.
