Unknown model airliner

[VictorXL188]

Seen this wooden model airliner for sale and wondered if anyone may have an idea if it is merely a fictional type or is a real project. https://www.facebook.com/share/RkLPc1s3Saj1WJXa/

Looks like a very poorly done Convair 240/340-minus the props

Since Colonial Airlines was taken over by Eastern in 1956, my guess would be that this model is meant to depict a Martin 4-0-4.

Too many things different from the C-102 prototype...
Fin & rudder, location of the horizontal tail surfaces, engine nacelles, nose & cockpit.

Yes. And not that much is known about the unbuilt C-101 navigational trainer. However, from the fuselage mockup, the C-101 appears to have been unpressurised. I suspect that the C-101 wings would have incorporated Lancaster outer panels - in contrast to the higher-aspect ratio, square-cut wings of the Martin 4-0-4.
