Title: Pyro, Natedog, Superfly - wondering if you've seen these for reference -
Post by: Waffle on October 25, 2004, 03:56:09 PM

Was just curious if you have seen the "Aero Details" book series for details / construction of aircraft. They're kinda pricey ($30 US), and some are out of print.

But they have ALOT of detail in them!

Each book contains tons of close up photo reference, detailed technical drawings with scale and measurements of airframe structures, control systems, canopy details, as well as weapon mounts and variations.  Interior layouts of radio equpitment as well as panel, left and right side and seat details.

There are also several color profiles with marking placement, also including maintainance markings, stencils, ect...

Just curious if you guys have seen them. If not, I believe they would definelty be worth the search for.
