If the model is well made, should venirti wants to climb up and turn on the engine! This legendary quote from who knows where that model already appears on the pages of our blog, but would repeat itself as it encompasses all virtues of our hobby. No self-respecting modeler should undertake the construction of a kit without the aim of achieving the highest fidelity of reproduction. After this premise may seem more clear the fundamental role that covers the bibliographic information of a plane, from photos, drawings, snapshots from the historical references and you can draw a mountain of important information such as trends in the forms of camouflage or details in a cockpit and much more. Before you think to purchase a kit, the modeler should first analyze the amount of documentation that has on his behalf: I would just say it is the same documentation as a condition for purchasing the kit! Normally it is good not to trust blindly the instructions in the boxes, because the manufacturers often do not conduct extensive research and sometimes end up providing incorrect codes or badges, or advise you to use colors not exactly faithful or even products from their brand. For the same reason the models are diligent inaccuracies of more or less serious, which can be corrected only by observing the images of the original aircraft available to us. But pay attention to any particular: if you want to obtain information regarding the color of an airplane, you must bear in mind that generally the color photographs tend to distort the original colors, defects that can be even more pronounced since the photo itself and the type of film used. More important is the wealth of culture that every personal aircraft modeler should have thanks to it we will be immediately apparent whether the kind of camouflage pattern has been effectively used by the aircraft in that period, whether it has actually brought that type of armament or whether in fact has actually received those special badges. One hurdle for the search for documentation is the language. Indeed one can say that 99% of the most important and useful publications are in English and then, remembering that it is not enough just look at the figure, excluding the reading of the texts we prevent a lot of information. One last tip: Be wary of the drawings and watercolors, which often can be seen around because the person who designed it is often not even a fan, so it may have entered the details invented or even non-existent on that plane.
Let us turn now to a brief overview of the most respected publications in our provisions and their characteristics.
