I'd be interested knowing that the contemporary stats (speed, height, range) were for this apparent Japanese Buffalo, looking at the artists impression I'd take a guess at 6 machine guns (7.7mm) and two cannon (20mm), 8 machine guns (7.7mm) or 6 machine guns (7.7mm) and two machine guns (12.7mm) for the weapons as this was supposedly a naval fighter.
Later:
I found someone made a scratchbuilt model of the plane based on a three view from a WWII recognition book.
