In the P-35 Seversky cockpit, all gunsights appear.

Ah, I didn't check to see what other planes might use this cockpit. That'll be an easy fix.

Should just the US sight be used, or if more than one, which?

Of course, historically this plane might have not had a reflector sight installed, the pilot having to use the iron sights.

Probably the US sight

Most likely the Swedish have been using a Revi sight the images are not very clear

I've been searching for P-35 cockpit images, and none have shown any sight installed. One picture of a plastic model kit in a side view showed a surprisingly accurate silhouette of the N-2 with sight head of the type I model here.

But Frankiek's link to the Swedish pics shows an external side view with what looks very much like a ReVi.

Could be a case where these two sights might be used; N-2 for the US and the ReVi for everyone else?

A much better cockpit in terms of canopy and cockpit sill is that for the Re 2000. If that one were to be tweaked with US gauges...

[Frankiek]

Indeed the chief designer of Re 2000 had worked for Seversky and borrowed heavily from the P-35 when designing the Re 2000

Hi Glenn. I found a P35 cockpit photograph in the Squadron Signal Mini Book 1 by Larry Davis. If you don't have access to that I can ask Von to post it here. There does not appear to be an obvious gunsight in the photo though, as it seems to be a night shot.

Glenn, this is the cockpit photo Lars mentioned...
