A purely fictional variant of the already immaterial Gotha Go P.60, this design was produced by AZ Model themselves - moving the lower engine from its ventral position in the Go P.60 design to a twin engine ventral configuration… looking a little bit like a smaller Arado E.555 (if you squint a little bit).

The Go P.60 was intended to be a heavy fighter, and the C variants to be night fighter derivatives. There's no particular night fighter addons in the kit… I think AZ Model just changed the engine configuration, slapped some new decals in the box and thought it was good. I do think the ventrally mounted engines make for a better looking model… even if it's a fanciful design of an already paper-only fighter!

An aftermarket photo-etch kit is available from NH Detail for the various AZ Model Go P.60 kits (i.e. not specific to this C-6 variant):
