Yep, but we knew what you meant.

The Beech model 50 Twin Bonanza was produced from 1951 to 1963. It had a
conventional fuselage. While it was called the Twin Bonanza it was not a
Bonanza with two engines.

Oops. That should have been, "It had a conventional empennage".

Actually, they took a Bonanza fuselage, split it down the middle, added
a slice, lengthened it, added a wing center section and bigger gear and
the T-Bone was born.

The only butterfly tail twin that started life as a Bonanza was the
Fleet Super V, which had a pair of Lycoming IO-360s, and came out about
1963.

It does sound like the Super V - althogh I doubt a toy manufacturer
would go to such lengths to accurately model an airplane of which only
a dozen or so were ever converted.

It's not.

I seem to recall that there was a Twin Bonanza built at one time, but I
don't think it was a V-tail.


A T-bone doesn't look anything like the single bonanza's in any
configuration...it's more of a queen-air ancestor (huge).

There was a V-tailed Beech twin (very rare) that the OP already
ruled out.
