Sweden did use british Gladiators so there was no problem in using italian designs before war. I did some further research and came to conclusion that its some older Macchi model. Engine cover is different, and landing gear is errr... hiding to the back of the wing instead to the fuselage (sp?)

Actually it's a Swedish import of the American Seversky EP-1(P-35),which was given the Swedish designation of J9..They had 60 actually delivered and 60 from the order of 120 were "requisitioned" by the U.S.,and sent to the Phillipines.
BTW,Japan had 20 of them,called them the A8V1..
The USAAF called their version the P-35A(in the Phillipines)..
