Much in this picture has been photoshopped. All the guns and pods and such...but as John has pointed out. It did exist...albeit just briefly.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Many large and strange aircraft were designed and built in the late 20s and 30s, most of which appeared to be constructed to antagonise the air rather than pass through it-'Big' Igor Sikorsky built the world's first large, multi engine aircraft in 1912 in Russia-they've been keen on them ever since...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_Ilya_Muromets
