is very local to me, (2 miles) The good news for this cold war era group build is the outdoor permanent displays are being delivered this past week for this era. First is a early, (but updated) AH1 cobra that came in last fall, this week is a M60A1 MBT and a M109A5 SPG. These I am capable of photographing in detail if anyone needs the references. I will probably photograph them anyway, but if you have specific question the prototypes are available from out door angles so long as they can be photographed from the ground. (no interiors either)

There is a lot more in the works, if you are starting a modeling project of the above and need a different detail shot let me know, I have easy access to this stuff. Again, it is forbidden to enter, open climb on or manipulate anything on the exhibits. But I will do my best.
