Help with identifying Fighter aircraft

[LloydRey]

Hi All

Hope you are all doing well, need some assistance in solving a mystery of mine, Im trying to identify a fighter that I have a memory of but can not find online no matter where I search, I will try my best to describe it:

WW2 era plane
Large front with exhaust pipes coming out of it - maybe 4 or 6
Smallish body, engine looks overly large for the plane
Somewhere between a Spitfire and Corsair

Anyone got any ideas?

Afraid not, its a childhood memory so not much to go on im afraid

Best I can suggest is start here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aircraft_of_World_War_II

and just work through all the listings. Are you sure it’s WW2?

[LloydRey]

This was a great idea Tim, thanks, going through them now

Sounds very much like the Japanese J2M Raiden.

Buffalo as per Langy71 seems to be the closest thing I can recall, thanks all for the help
