No, the nose in the Airfix NF XIX is the one he means.  I think.

I can supply them all, Dave.  Airfix,Matchbox and both of the Airkit ones (thimble & bullnose).  Plenty spare.

I just happen to have the MK.XIX handy (using it as reference for the DH.101 build) and had a look as I was sure there was a few choices of nose you can use.  There's the original which you have to cut off if you want to do the other versions, the Mk.XIX nose replacement, and then there's the Moulins cannon nose too.  If the others can't fix you up you can have any of these noses as I'm converting this kit into an early Sea Mosquito (the other nose in the pic here)

Thanks guys for your very kind, swift offers of assistance - a great response that's just typical of this forum.  And apologies too - I should have been clearer in saying it was the NF.XIX thimble nose I was after.  As pyro-manic was the first to respond I've PM'ed him as per his request.
The fruits of the request will hopefully be revealed in due course - and no, it's not a Mossie.
