It looks familiar to me, but I can't place it. It looks like it might be of US origin, or at least use an American engine.

It looks like a single seater, given the canopy. (the canopy being rather distinctive as well)

Is it a fighter?

It does look a bit like an A-33 though. (the gear match, the canopy lookswrong, and I'm not sure about the fuselage)

Good spot on the engine KK, its a Wright Cyclone. However the engine and canopy have been modified from the norm, quite a lot actually.

The plane in the picture has had a rear gun turret removed from behind the pilot, but that was only experimental anyway. it was quite different to begin with but the main fuselage, wings u/c and tail have not been altered at all.

Fairey Battle? (that was, in fact, one of the first things that came to mind with the long fuselage and the wing)

Always go with your first gut instinct Chris!

Rehashed Battle (R7439) built by Fairchild-Canada, in Quebec?

So it was the Fairey Battle IIT turret trainer. (the IT was the Merlin powered one)

The new one looks interesting.

That was fast... Was it because I left the name in the file name? (I realized the mistake and went back to edit, but you got there first)
