These are my personal reference pages based mostly on photos of models taken from the websites of fine scale model suppliers. Photos of models are usually better than extant photos of the original; they are often in colour, have good lighting, appropriate viewing angle, attention to detail, and no obstructions in front of the critical part. Photos on this page from P-B-L, Rio Grande Models, and Accucraft sites.
