Bristol Beaufighter
Bristol Beaufighter
It is my belief that this was primarily a wooden aircraft with no real panel lines ala the Mosquito. Right or wrong.

Not wooden, all metal monocoque construction.

Here are some shots of NMF, the initial prototype, and one in postwar service. Both show metal skinning and panel lines.
