Oh cool! I was thinking it had to have the wing area of a PBY, but that door looked too much like a Mossie.

Anyway, try this:

They look like Browning .303s, and that turret, or barbette, looks familiar. I'm sure I'm not right, but I'll take a guess at the Mosquito with the experimental, rear-facing turret?

Te experimental Mosquito turret was manned and, IIRC, had 4 guns.

I believe you're right. Didn't think it was that, but it still looks familiar. Can't think where I've seen it before though.

No, not Buck Roger's spaceship. But from that era (well, the comic's era).
