Hi all,
im a long time browser, first time posting, love the site and hoping for a bit of help

Does anyone have any photos of an M-18 engine bay? I see theres a few posts about this already but most of the links are broken now.

Anything that would help with a scratch build would be great,

thanks in advance!

Thanks for the photos Henri. I did find the first few on Google but the Littlefield ones I haven't seen before, thanks for the link. Those will for sure be a big help down the road.

Do you know of any restoration photos with the engine removed?

Unfortunately, the one I've posted is the only one I've found so far...

Talking about restoration, did you see this video (showing the very same Hellcat) ?

Hey Henri,
Sorry for the delay, I've been busy for the past few days, just wanted to say thank you for the link, I took some very helpful screen shots off of it,

Thanks again,
Matt
