Really great photos! I should have boxart of that Matchbox somewhere, since my dad built one in late 70's... It's one of gems on a shelf with his models

When I am researching kits, decals and accessories for my books, I find that a catalogue search at Hannants and at Squadron will give me a very good idea of what is currently available.

Of course, this only applies to current stuff, but sites like Kingkit, RarePlane Detective and Old Model Kits will also be a help in finding old stuff too.

By the way, I did a quick Hannants search for "Grumman Hellcat" and it gave me 189 results for kits, decals and accessories...!

I will build what I get and if I get, at least I will ask for assistance for the members of this forum if I need it. There is much of the products but can not be all presented, maybe just as few lines of text. Book is delayed for the late of next year, initially it was scheduled for the spring next year.

Do you still need walkaround photos? I might be able to get back to that museum over Christmas.
