I like it. But I think the version you have is a trainer.

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.

Wing loading: 25 lb/ft² (122 kg/m²)

Wing loading similar to a SpitV?

Power/mass: 0.18 hp/lb

This is correct? That is same power loading as the Pony I believe. Why is the climb rate only 2,500 fpm? Lack of effective turbo/supercharging? That being the case, would it average better on the deck?

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.

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
