Sorry Greg, somewhere, some how, I missed this!
I personally have always loved the notion of a carrier-based Beaufighter! It would have been such a high performance and hard hitting surprise to German, Italian and Japanese ships and ground targets!
Is there any chance that you could have a go at introducing a Grumman-type (Wildcat/Hellcat/Avenger arrangement) folding arrangement for the wings, or a two-fold wing arrangement? As the existing arrangement you've done would give rise to issues of below-deck storage and maintenance.
