This is a Boulton Paul Sidestrand which is an earlier manifestation of the Overstrand. Sidestrand and Overstrand are the names of two seaside villages in Norfolk, UK. The Sidestrand was a medium bomber of the early 1930s, serving in the RAF with only 18 ever built. The model was made from the 1/72 Contrail vacuform kit. This was one of Contrail's early offerings and it shows. The kit provides an approximation of parts that needs quite a bit of work and of course, there are no decals. One builds somethings like this for the challenge, or possibly to serve some kind of penitence.
