It's 1938
You have acquired a P-36A through means which maybe best left unexplained, and have the tools available to modify it as a mercenary fighter-plane. So here you stand, tools and materials ready, what do you wanna upgrade first?
Your Mercinary fighter must:
- Be a successor to this post
- Have a fair horsepower (around 1100hp should be fine, just avoid throwing it up to 2000hp unless you can find a justified reason for it)
- Look good (Can be poop-brown as far as paint for all I care, but I wanna see detail and effort in the design)
- Be effective in combat (will be versing an AI bf109C... to start off with...)
I'll accept mid/Late-war additions and they don't have to resemble the P-36 very much at all really, but early-war single-engine fighters with realistic modifications are preferred unless the model is exceptionally well-done.

One upload per profile, additional successors won't disqualify, but won't be counted either (bonus points may be awarded if your aircraft has potential for development as the war continues though...)
