An jeneral, diferans ki genyen ant Beaufort la ak Beaufighter te minè. zèl yo, sifas kontwòl, Retractable Kovèti pou aterisaj ak Aft seksyon nan karleng a te ki idantik ak sa yo ki nan Beaufort a, pandan ke seksyon an zèl sant te menm jan apa de sèten ekipman. Bay la bonm te omisyon, ak kat pi devan-tire 20 mm Hispano MK III kanon te monte nan zòn nan karleng pi ba yo. Sa yo te okòmansman manje soti nan tanbou 60-wonn, ki egzije operatè a rada chanje tanbou yo minisyon manyèlman - yon travay jòb ki vrèman difisil ak popilè, sitou nan mitan lannwit ak pandan y ap kouri dèyè yon commando. Kòm yon rezilta, yo te pli vit ranplase pa yon sistèm senti-manje. kanon yo te complétée pa sis .303 nan (7.7 mm) Browning machineguns nan zèl yo (kat babor, de pò). Zòn ki pou sèrvan a dèyè yo ak bonm-aimer te retire, kite sèlman pilòt la nan yon kabin avyon de gè-kalite. Operatè a navigatè / rada chita nan dèyè a anba yon ti wonn plèksiglas ti kote yo te mete dorsal tourèl Beaufort nan te.

In general, the differences between the Beaufort and Beaufighter were minor. The wings, control surfaces, retractable landing gear and aft section of the fuselage were identical to those of the Beaufort, while the wing centre section was similar apart from certain fittings. The bomb bay was omitted, and four forward-firing 20 mm Hispano Mk III cannons were mounted in the lower fuselage area. These were initially fed from 60-round drums, requiring the radar operator to change the ammunition drums manually — an arduous and unpopular task, especially at night and while chasing a bomber. As a result, they were soon replaced by a belt-feed system. The cannons were supplemented by six .303 in (7.7 mm) Browning machineguns in the wings (four starboard, two port). The areas for the rear gunner and bomb-aimer were removed, leaving only the pilot in a fighter-type cockpit. The navigator/radar operator sat to the rear under a small perspex bubble where the Beaufort's dorsal turret had been.
