British Canberra bomber ?
JEDEM DAS SEINE
Illyushin Il-28 medium bomber-NATO reporting name 'Beagle'.
PS-a Soviet jet bomber also widely used by Warsaw pact and other client states including China-still in limited use-more or less a Canberra equivalent but with a slightly larger crew.
A strange model! A slightly stylized Martin B-57?

THE 'Martin B 57' is a licenced produced version of the English Electric (later British Aerospace) Canberra intruder variant.
I wondered about the Ilyushin Beagle too, as it also comes quite close, but it had a straight front edge on the wings and the model seems to have a diamond wing shape. Also, the Beagle's engines are not as slender as the models. Like I said, a strange model! It seems to be Close to the B-57 and close to the Beagle, but isn't Quite either!

I think it is a canberra, looking at the cockpit from above it seems to be slightly left of centre which is correct for the canberra.
