.... any comments ????

Big step up from the old Hs-123. I'm dubious about the flexible 20mm in a relatively small aircraft like this, a single 12.7mm or twin 7.92mm might be a better choice. The forward armament's good for strafing infantry, but replacing the 7.92mm's with 2 20mms would be an option that would give more capability against soft vehicles.

Okay, a big step but i think, not too big .

I'm no profi in case of aircrafts,so i think you have a bigger know-how. I will change the 20mm MC to a 12.7mm MG in rear cockpit.

Do you think there is enough space for a combination, e.g. one 7.92mm and one 20mm in each wing ???

Room in the wing is not a problem, and if it was you could put the 7.92mms in the nose and synchronize them. You'll just use up a bit more weight doing it that way. What's the 1600 hp engine?

About the engine:
It's the same as is used in the Guoyong G-25B (License B-25 Mitchell).
It's a Copy of the Wright R-2600 Cyclone 14 radial engine, in particula it's the R-2600-3 (1600 hp).

I thought that might be the case.

Exactly.
