What you'll see here are photos taken of airliners still in existence today. Detail photos of vintage airliners are hard to come by, unless they can be obtained from museum pieces or the few still in service, so with regard to reference photos, this page will have a distinct jetliner emphasis for the time being.
Included with the listing of reference photos are capsule reviews of available kits. More comprehensive kit reviews will be included as I recieve them. I've also provided direct links to existing airliner model reviews on the Internet.
Of course, your photos and reviews would be welcome additions to this page. Email me if you have any, and we'll go from there. For the rest of 1997, I have scanning capability on both prints and slides, so please email me if you want to send photos by mail. If you want to send scans, please send them through Netscape, as I'm not capable of MIME unencoding. My email link is at the bottom of this page.
