Okay, 48 cannons per side below decks means 96 cannons overall. 3 cannons in the black section on each side means 6 cannons which makes the total number 102. The cannons you call stern chasers are not stern chasers but okay, that makes the total number 104. You can see the cannons near the mainmast during the Endeavour's destruction scene, right behind the two officers when they ask Beckett "Sir, what do you command?" By the way, I was wrong, because I thought there was only one cannon per side there but now I see there are two. That means four cannons which gives us 108 cannons.

As for the forecastle guns, I now realize that I haven't studied the model as closely as I should have because I have messed up the number of the guns there too. There's a place to run out the gun on the rail between the foremast's shrouds, shaped exactly like the place where the quarterdeck's guns are located (and where the guns near the mainmast are located). There is also another such position on the rail, right in front of the foremast's shroud, above the hanging anchor. Exactly the same positions are on the rail on the bow of the ship, facing forward. So, one gun position in the middle of the shrouds (2 cannons), one gun position in front of the shrouds (2 cannons), and two positions on the bow (2 bow chasers). So, 108 + 6 = 114. Thank you for making me recount the guns and fixing this mistake. Cheers.
