Accuracy

Accurate — This is anything which requires little or no modification, understanding that there are many differences between prototype groupings, and photos of the prototype you are modeling should be used as an aid. Summary of the suggested models is the opinion of the author(s) and that other modelers with different modeling objectives/accuracy standards etc., may well have opinions which differ from the ones stated.
Stand-in — This is anything that would require modifications to make it accurate or it is unlikely that we will ever see a model that resembles the prototype better. This grouping is very difficult to organize, due to personal limits of each individual modeler. In most cases I will give the reasons why they are considered a stand-in and the choice will then be yours as to whether to use them or not. Again, photos of the prototype you are modeling should be used as an aid. Summary of the suggested models is the opinion of the author(s) and that other modelers with different modeling objectives/accuracy standards etc., may well have opinions which differ from the ones stated.
