Very cool project in a beautiful livery, I did a cropspayer Wildcat some time ago Wildcat Groupbuild GM FM-2 Crop sprayer N1352N „Spraycat" | Album by Aquilifer (1:48).
This one has an almost identical spaying setup, so I think it might have been a cropsprayer too, rather than a firebomber ?
Never knew that Hellcats were employed in that role too.
Checkin' in, curious on your result! 👍

Hanno - my Wildcat is here: Grumman F4F Wildcat without uniform | Album by Kon_Bar (1:72)
The Hellcats were both sprayers and firebombers (see valves on bottoms of tanks)
Robert - me too 🙂

Have you thought about 3D printing? That's how I would approach it.

You have all the reason to be satisfied. The paint job turned out great. I particularly like the orange and white preshading. Great effect.
