Does anyone know whether these two kits are different toolings or do they come from the same mold?
In addition, apart from the Azur offering, does anyone know of any other available P-36 or Hawk 75 kits (including OOP)? Has Hasegawa ever done one?
The Revell and Monogram offerings are different tools, dating back to when they were totally seperate companies. Heller did a Hawk 75 that I've seen on eBay from time to time.
There have been a number of eastern European short run injected kits released in he last couple of years. I'm not a 1/72 modeler so I don't have details but if you do a search on any of the larger web stores' catalogs (Squadron, Meteor, Great Models, Hannants etc.) you'll find them.
I never did the Revell kit, but did do the Monogram and Heller kits.
Monogram is clean yet simple kit, whereas the Heller kit has a little more to it.
The Hawk 75 series was done by Azur (Mohawk IV)/Special Hobby (Hawk 75 M, N, O)/MPM.
The Azur kit looks crappy in reviews:
IIRC Aoshima did a kit that somewhat resembled a P-36. I can't remember if it was 1/72nd or 1/75th scale.

More reviews here:
The Aoshima POC was 1/72 with "working landing gear". (Are you still out there Sheila?)
Pavla also issues a P-36 and AML does the Hawk 75. RS Models does both the Hawk 75H and 75N along with their 75A-7.
If anyone is interested in the entire list of Hawk 75/P-36 models done in 1/72 let me know and I'll post it from the MAI/ESM 72 database.

I've got the Revell one, Monogram one, and one by MRC. That one is still sealed in the box and advertises positionable flaps. If you need one, I'm looking to thin out my stash.

I remeber buiding a 1/72 scale Hawk back in the 60's that was made by AMT as part of a three pack that also had a Polish PZL-11 and a French fighter. But I don't think AMT was the original manufacturer of trhe kits but a repackager in the States.
That was the Revell kit. They did several triple packed fighters in small air forces markings.
It wasn't AMT, though. They did similar triple packaging of Frog kits a little later, also with small air forces markings.
