UG was the squadron code used by 16, 310 and 1654 Squadrons during the war

This link will explain what aircraft used....typically no Fairey Battle

I doubt it was 1654 Squadron

I appreciate it doesn't help identify the aircraft type but the model builder may have attached historically innacurate decals.
The front 3/4 looks more like a Grumman Avenger, but then the rear fuselage lets that theory down.
