Sorry Chiglet this one was not a Lockheed Design but Bri is correct that it was designed to have Bristol Radial Engines.

A total guess as I can't find any drawings, only a description...the Bristol 179?

Skytrain10 has it. It is a drawing of the Bristol Type179. Designed in September 1951 for civil and military operations. The aircraft was tohave two Hercules 272 engines.

Sh - It's Russian

Looks like the Grushin Sh-Tandem/Shurmovik of circa 1938.

If so, Open House, as I appear to be too dense to upload an image from my own compuker - gave up after 45 minutes
Cheers
