Looks like someone's bastardised the old Matchbox kit:

Matchbox 1/72 Vickers Wellesley Mk.I, PK123

Out-Of-Production or Antique Model Kit from Oldmodelkits.com. Assembly and painting required.

Each time I see the pic I'm trying to guess how the guy with the glasses could pass his med tests for being the aviator.
