Well, to me it looks like a B17 fuselage with photoshop added B24 wings, and forward canards off who knows what. I can see no reason why somebody would even bother with such a configuration, therefore IMHO – fake.
Looks like a photoshopped picture of a B-17G, with the wings and the tailplanes switched.
The (indistinct) marking on the wing is a bit strange.
Also, in my opinion, if this would be a bomber, the engineering would be all wrong. The load is in the middle of the plane, and there is where you would want the wings to provide maximum lift. With this construction that would not be the case.
Just FYI, I am in marketing and have seen a lifetime of photoshopped images. So I know it is a fiction. I wondered if anyone would easily be tricked and so far, no one took the bait. Everyone writing to me caught the bullshit. This is good news these days.
