Hi,

I think it was a model not real aircraft,but I was never heard about
it before.

It looks to be an edited shot of a model.

That's a Douglas A3D fuselage with modified tail, wings and engines. I just took a quick look through Ginter's Naval Fighters Number Forty-Five and saw nothing on this modification in there. I doubt that there would be anything in the "Fleet Whales" volume - which I don't have.
