Red DH-88

Seen on line this afternoon:

Red DH88 Comet, 5 inch wing span, no maker's markings - K-I-F #19 ? (19 is on other side of fuselage).

I thought it was a Lintoy (which would be clearly marked) and then I remembered there was also a Dinky Toy DH-88 and the less accurate Crescent and Gescha brands DH-88s from Sue Richardson's book. The toy seen below is none of these, either.

Your thread about "Pilot Fly" from Denmark contained a list that included a DH-88, might it be one of these? Seller identified the markings as Swiss but they could be Danish as well !

I have never seen this one before but I think you could be right about it being a Pilot Fly especially if it is 1/200 scale. The metal wheels look like those on their
DC-2.
