This is to me (again) a very good example of a good request.
I still think that searching for yourself is a unavoidable part of the process of model something, but, having already this kind of info available from the start, speeds up the process and makes your life a lot easier for you, when doing a project.
And I'd like to point that, apart from the history and data required, and your own previous interest in the subject, good detailed scale plans are the more tempting, and specially this kind of detailed drawings and photograps for difficult spots, interiors, etc, are the most needed when you go into detailing.
Because, often, you spent many time trying to find good info about this usually missing and obscure points. Or deciphering grainy shots while hunting for details, mostly in this kind of "not so famous" planes.
So, this kind of references to read and look at, comes very handy and saves you a lot of "surfing, reading and searching". I think this is true no matter if it is a 3d model or a scale model or whatever you want to recreate, portrait, skin or build.
I also agree with the feeling that even if no one takes your requests they are valuable themselves, and also a good example for others wanting to request something, and as source of inspiration for some people, so yes, keep the posting.
As they are both so well presented and very often connected with my own preferences, I'll keep counting (no offense intended for other posts) Baronbutcher's and yours as my favorites.
Thanks for posting!
