That's a great idea for a dio. Looks like a snapshot in time.

Cool diorama and nicely done.  Is this based on an actual plane, or are the markings a "what if" kind of thing?  I have never seen a lot of Hellcats with nose art, and the squadron markings are different than I'm used to.  One further comment, and this is being really picky, but the guns that the mechanics are handling probably should have longer barrels.  I'm guessing that you used the ones from the kit, and they did not extend all the way into the wing like the real ones.  Easy fix is to add brass tubing of the right diameter to make the barrels longer (or replace the kit supplied ones all together).  Again, this is being picky, and not to diminish the work you did, but hoping its constructive.  Nice work, and thanks for sharing.
