Hi John
thanks for posting this
That Helldiver model looks pretty darn good.
gunner position here is a little odd, but I guess thats an active thing.
did they include the forward firing browning MGs?
if so...they probably shouldn't

are there more images on-line somewhere?
I went to flightsim.com and tried to find some more info but came up with nothing.

those markings are definitly familiar.
you probably know all this already
but, this scheme depicts a land based naval aircraft.
The carrier based planes had a different scheme that might be interesting.
check out Jim's painting "the Professionals" for reference, I believe the same basic scheme was used on Helldivers:

might make a nice skin
maybe add a little dirt/grease/grime as well
