That's the tulip wood bodied Hispano Suiza that we used to see quite often in the 1960s, but which must be in a museum now as it rarely appears

As modelled at 1/15 scale by ace model builder Gerald Wingrove,  who drilled 13,000 holes for 0.012in (0.3mm) brass pins.  He was such a glutton for punishment that he made three models simultaneously!
