Ross

I believe the answer is:

poser

This clue is a triple definition!

'problem' is the first definition.
(I know that poser is a type of problem)

'for model' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'being' is a link.

'a show-off' is the third definition.
(poser is a kind of show-off)

(Other definitions for poser that I've seen before include "Tricky clue" , "Problem set by the model" , "Artist's model" , "Puzzling problem" , "Difficult problem" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
