UPDATE #7, Apr 03, 2023: For both the Hawk 75/P-36 and the P-35, I've added an early 'ladder' reticle for the US N-2 gun sight. It is in use until June 01, 1942, with the later 50 mil circular reticle coming into effect thereafter. If you find you don't like this 'ladder' reticle, simply copy the 3 reticle files from folder "us" and paste them into folder "us_early"; this will result in the 50 mil circular reticle being used also before June '42.

There is a small problem with the cockpit of the P-35. Nothing to worry about.
You use the same canopy as the Hawk.
But the problem is that the P-35 canopy doesn't have a bar in the middle...

Even worse is the forward part of the canopy. Note how the P-35's front central windscreen is incredibly narrow, almost like a vertical slit.

These are the sorts of discrepancies that are the downside of using substitute cockpits from other planes.

Right, I saw... Unfortunately, you have to accept certain compromises.  :-X
