de Havilland Mosquito ID

Recommended Posts

This is a cast and machined solid brass Mosquito, which I believe was made by RAF apprentices at either Northolt or the Uxbridge School of Education where my dad was CO around 1950.

 

It's 205x163mm and weighs 560g.

What's your considered opinion - is it a generic Mossie model, or are there any indications to suggest it's most likely to be 'x' version rather than 'y'?

I agree with Troy about the windscreen and nacelles, but the nose cone looks more like a (N(F)B) one to me. OTOH it doesn't seem to have any transverse flat surfaces other than the radiator intakes.
