Those don't look like RR Merlins on that Mosquito.

I noticed it but included it as it could be genuine...this is the link although
I got the image from somewhere else that didn't question its
authenticity...could be fake.

That story makes sense, the Merlins replaced with two Bristol Hercules radials.

I think it's prolly a Bristol Beaufighter...not a Mosquito.

Blasphemy! Abomination!

Thankfully, only exists as a 1/72 scale model from a creative
craftsman...

This is the comment beneath the photo;
1:72 De Havilland DH.98 ‘Mosquito’ NF.52; '212/C White' of 10th Sqn.,
Royal Egyptian Air Force (REAF), Almaza AFB, circa 1950 (Whif/Airfix
kit conversion)

+++ DISCLAIMER +++

Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the
presented background story might be based historical facts. BEWARE!

Also, read the list of tags: "what-if; fantasy; fictional".

Get real guys!

From the modeller's own description:

"As a side note: this whif conversion is not as fantastic as one might
think. Even though AFAIK no Mosquito ever carried radial engines, not
even for trials or as a protytype, the I.Ae. 24 ‘Calquin’ from
Argentina, a light bomber patterned after the Mosquito in 1947 as a
domestic development, carried radials, but less powerful Pratt &
Whitney R-1830-G ‘Twin Wasp’ engines."
