I think the P-36/Hawk 75 series would be a great candidate for a model in either 1/48th or 1/72nd scale. One it is a nice looking aircraft and two, well it has a fairly exstensive list of possible paint schemes and also retractable verses fixed landing gear versions. The list of possible paint schemes would actually be pretty impressive. Some possible schemes could be: Pearl Harbor P-36 (Harry Brown's plane would make a good choice), Hawk 75s in French markings, Finnish version, Thailand and the huge selection of United States markings.

I'd go a P-36 in 1/72.

I would go for one, and there are plenty of paint schemes.

The French both battle for France and Vichey paint schemes would both be eye catchers. The Vichey would definitely be colorful.

Yeah, I could go for a 1/72nd P-36. Also, even though they would be real small, I'd like to see the Buffalo and the I-16 in 1/72nd...

I'd go for one in 1/48th. That would be really sweet. I think that 1/72nd might be too small.

You are probably right in this being best pulled off in 1/48th scale.

I'm working on this, thanks for the suggestion and comments.

I agree 100%. There are terrific USAAC / USAAF schemes than can be done, and it would be most impressive at 1:48 scale. I badly want interwar USAAC fighters so I welcome anything P-1 through P-36 (bust especially P-1, P-6E, P-12, P-26 and P-36)!

I shouldn't leave out USN interwar fighters either!

The 1939 War Games finish would make for an interesting looking P-36.
