It's a ringer for this one, but it's a flying boat.
Was there ever a land-based version?

Just discovered that there was - the model F1A.

Now we know that it was a converted flying boat, it explains the nosewheel. A flying boat is never designed to be tail-heavy.
Here's another one for a lazy Sunday:
