Recognize this WWII aircraft?

[z42]

Stumbled upon this gem from Twitter. Brownie points for recognizing which aircraft it is (I'll post the answer later).

 

[SaparotRob]

Looking forward to the answer.

Chopped up mossie.

Whats going on with the propellers? And a nose and tail wheel undercarriage is interesting to say the least.
I guess it was made by AvroBristolDehavollandWestland corp, after the merger called ABDW Aerospace

Bingo, we have a winner!

Apparently this is an AI generated image of a Mosquito. I can only guess someone didn't bother with checking copyrights etc on a real image for some article, and decided to ask AI to make one instead.

And 10 cylinder engines.

This is actually one of the (few?) things the AI got correct. Mossies with a single stage SC had the rearmost two cylinders piped to the same exhaust stub.

AI should take something off the stab and add it to the wing

 

[cammerjeff]

It would also help if the wings were in proportion to each other.

Also any idea what the pods on the upper rear portions of the engine nacelles are supposed to be?

Storage for extra front landing gear doors?

2 intakes under one engine and only 1 under the other ?

And people already trust crap produced by AI.

The gods must be rolling in their graves - with laughter

Some pilots like tricycles and some like tail-draggers sooooo.....

AI=artificial ignorance

 

[SaparotRob]

Mine's genuine!

 

[Sabrejet]

It's an image generated with Bing's AI tool. For some reason it has trouble rendering propellers and they often end up looking like that. That part is a give-away that it was done using Bing.

 

[EAIAnalog]

And what's going on with all the antennae? especially the forest underneath the nose. Plus, immediately aft of the cockpit is a circular projection that I think might be a cap on a gas tank.

 

[Sabrejet]

This was my attempt. Still having trouble with the propellers.
