I am building a model of this plane, Hells Angel Out of Chute 14. My uncle flew on this plane in WWII. I need color photos if you have any or know where I can acquire some. Thank you.

Greetings and best wishes
My father-in-law was a pilot of this very aircraft!
We have no color photos of him or the airplane he gave the moniker “Grossly Inadequate ”
We would love to see your completed work.
Be well
Myles
