There are sure lots of better photos out there, but I wanted to share the pictures I took last year in my holiday there, I took them from a modellers perspective, with attention to rigging detail and how PC10 changes with lighting, so perhaps they are are useful for a struggling modeller out there without much in the way of references. I found them useful to build both Sopwith Camels and SE5a. At any rate, even with good references, having a color photo helps a lot , more depth perception and easier to pick up details.

I have yet to add the Hendon pictures wich are the most interesting , I will update this post when they are uploaded.

Also, there are a lot pictures of tanks from Bovington museum

*BUMP*


I added most of the Hendon pictures, sorry if the quality is not the best, ran out of batteries at the start of the museum and the later pictures were taken with a mobile phone camera. Still, I was alone in there and the security guard kindly allowed me to get real close to the airplanes to take detail shots. Hope this helps

I am happy somebody found them useful!

Check again, I just uploaded the pictures of the Sopwith Strutter and the Sopwith Triplane, a must if you want to do any of those.
