Truscale Westland Whirlwind kit
It probably would be collectable if it had the details,  instructions and decals etc!  Another rescue!
Westland Whirlwind was a very fast heavily cannon armed twin of the early war.  Unfortunately its Rolls Royce Peregrine engines were dropped so only a couple of squadrons operated it.  Re-engining (say with Merlins) might have worked but would have been less versatile than the equally fast and two man Mosquito.
Westland later reused the name for their license built version of the Sikorsky S-55
