Looking for this plane

I saw this plane in a hanger near where I work and im trying to
figure out what the name of it is called and what it was used for.
so here's the specs I hope you guys can help. post pictures and
i'll let you know if I recognize it. First person to tell me what it is
Gets a gold star!!

SPECS: Low wing
Twin Radial engines on each wing.
Tricical landing gear below engines one on the nose.
Long pointy nose with thin cockpit. looked like 4 cannons front.
Landing gear looked pretty high.

It almost looked like a mig with two radial engines. ahh I wish I new what
it was called! but that's all the information that I can remember about it.


Ps. im new to forums. Im a pilot from Victoria Canada.

ahh dangit I cant be. it was a large tricical landing gear plane
with radial engines. I really cant be more specific I was hopeing
people could show pictures even if there are a few.

I know the nose is really pointy and sticks out past the radial engines
and had 2 gun slits on each side of the nose


There isnt alot of Twin Radial engine planes with single canopy
cockpit and tall tricical landing gear.....
