Yes to the P-36. And unlike hollywood would like you to believe five P-36s were the only American aircraft to get off the ground during the attack on Pearl Harbor. They were credited with two kills of A6Ms with one P-36 being lost in the process.

I'll have to double-check, but I'm pretty sure a pair of P-40s flown by Lts. Taylor and Welch got up. They claimed 6-7 bombers (no Zeros) between them (PH was EXTREMELY loosely inspired by this). Sounds like more than only P-36s to me.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

French flew it, Finns flew it.  Norwegians too I believe.  RAF, USAAF etc.  It is a missing piece of the early war planeset

Yes, and while your at it, add the D 520, and MS 406, so we can have the battle of France.

When the p40 gets remoddeled it should be quite easy to use it to model the p36.
I dont see why we cant have it
