References
On this page, I have listed a good number of references to help you build your next model. Make sure you inform yourself very well about your model airplane before you start building it. Gather as much information as you can. Pictures from different angles will help you add good details.
Remember that the goal is to make your model look as accurate as possible as the real thing. Don’t rush; take your time when building your model. Nobody is pressuring you.
