Thanks @Otakar but.... see below! It's taken from another source, could it be wrong? Although in b/w picture, it seems to be too dark to be in O/D!

Dear @Otakar I'm planning to get the same aircraft in USMC colors with code 43-30170 by recent decal sheet done in Czech Rep. I'm fairly sure decals producer saw photo below, probably the only one available on the net. According to you, color of interiors is quite close to the exterior one? Happy modelling, Alex

matti64, this is an interesting point of reflection.... Above all, dry fitting seems to be ok. Cockpit floor is at door level. According to you, which side of the front doors has to be widen? (photo credit: http://www.dhc-2.com) -
