Yes, it’s a model I made some time ago of Auster Mk V RT461 belonging to 663 (Polish) AOP Squadron, probably the most obscure Polish unit of WWII. I haven’t managed to find a photograph of the real one and my knowledge of it stops with it being sold on 31/7/47. I bet there is some Auster enthusiast in the forum that can bore the pants off me with its post war history. So, what happened to it next?

according to the Air Britain file it spent all its service life with No 663 Squadron in Italy.

Only the rear fuselage and serial of the Auster can be seen.
