The Martin B-26 configuration can be adapted quite nicely to CL Stunt proportions.  Tom McClain did a serious model of it basically with full scale dimensions/proportions.

One reason it would work well is that it is fairly short coupled with a horizontal tail with a good amount of area compared to many full size aircraft with comparatively long tails and small horizontal tail surfaces.  Fuselage and engine nacelle diameters can be dealt with for a semi scale stunt ship a bit easier than many radial engine twins.

Here is another twin that would be an "interesting" candidate for a twin semi-scale stunter.  Might not want so much taper on the outboard wing sections.  A bigger horizontal tail would not distract from the scale like appearance.  Something a bit different than the He 219 with its tricycle gear.  This could be blended into Twin Pathfinder numbers.

There are versions with more typical "rounded" spinners.
