Thankfully, only exists as a 1/72 scale model from a creative
craftsman...
Sure this is a model kit photo, but it represents a real aircraft.
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."
