Could it be a preliminar draw for the Martin P5M-2 Marlin?

Don't know, but it's indeed a look very similar, tipical Martin's fashion to built big flying boats.Could it be a preliminar draw for the Martin P5M-2 Marlin?
I quite like this picture, is it any good for you?

P.S.
There's something puzzles me about engines: in the text it's said are P&W R-2800 (that are radial engines) while the shape of nacelles seems to me better suited for in-line engines instead...
Yes and the P5M1 had the more powerfull PW3300.
Could also be a twin engine proyect of the Shin Meiwa PS-1, the nose is more similar to the japanese plane then to the Martin.
Very good Brainstorm GRAEME.
I can't say this at 100% but...Safe to presume that it never flew?
The previous scan is from a 1960 book that talks about the Piaggio as though it had already flown. This scan is from Janes 57' which talks about the prototype being under construction but I've found very little on the internet except a site that mentions it in a Flight magazine of 1958. Safe to presume that it never flew?
Yep, maybe, after all Italy really bought BreguetsJane´s present the aircraft as a contender of the Breguet Atlantic.-??
Yes, it's the Dumbo
Yes Marcogrifo it is an italian design.Yes, it's the Dumbo
@Carson: sorry, I've no clue about thateven if I think it's an italian design.
Cheers
