I think we are getting on a tangent. David said that the model is circa 1949. That is before Monoline, not when they went back to two lines. The plane looks very little like the "Snowflake" IMHO. Note the rake on top of the cowl, the empennage more forward, assymetrical wings. Also note that the dolly is drop-off, not the later ones that released from the ground. Nice model.
