Nice pic...the lighting makes the interior green look a bit brown, but it appears to fall in line with the others.

You're Hellcat model is looking great, Mgawa!

Thank you Steve- I could thank to your and other forum mates here for the good match. Interesting surface detail on the link provide by Sean Curtiss. To regret I have search internet but did not find any wartime archive images of the Hellcat flown by this great US ace

Besides the beautiful work this guy (Scott Murphy) made on the Hellcat (my favorite Navy aircraft), click:

and at the bottom of the page you'll find more pictures of the cockpit.

Sorry, I don't understand. Which ace was it you were after details of?
If you say (I'm presuming you are referring to Alex Vraciu?) you might well get some pointers here.

Cheers,

Yes- it is about Vraciu. I can not find image where whole airplane could be seen. There is good close up images but not of the whole airplane. Rest images are excellent preserved and restored airplanes so I believe that team who done this have images of this airplane.

Here is few images of the interior work.
