This is the Revell (Matchbox) Westland Lysander, however, if you buy it from the Shuttleworth collection, you get an extra decal set to make their own Lysander, V9367 / MA-B an aircraft of 161 Squadron, flown by Pilot Officer Peter Vaughan-Fowler on operation Apollo during the winter of 1942. The Lysander in this configuration was often called the 'Spy taxi' as it was used to fly into occupied France where it would drop off / pick up agents, documents etc. The funny thing here is, searching for details of operation Apollo comes up with nothing - Is it still secret ?
Having said that, searching for detailed pic's of the SD Lysander was quite difficult. Plenty of the outside, nothing of the inside.
This is only my second 1:32 sale model, but being 1:32 means you can make things like aerial attachments out of scrap wire. I'm starting to see the attraction of big scale stuff !

And the last (poor quality) pic, had to be a night time shot.

So, the Revell Lysander. It's a bit rough in places, lacks a lot of detail, but it's really cheap. If the ugly duckling interests you, I'd say have a go.
