Civil Collection No.8 Photo CD Review

By Michael Benolkin

Review

Aero Research has released part eight of their civil aircraft photo reference CD. There are a wide variety of aircraft types ranging from business jets to warbirds on this disc.

Once again I used my image browser to scan through the aircraft on the disc and I was quite impressed with the selection of aircraft. As with the previous releases, many of these images are provided at 4000 pixels wide. All of the photos are color and all are out of various collections. Most were taken while the aircraft were in service.

So what kind of aircraft will you find on the disc?

• Aero Commander 500
• Aero Commander 680
• Beech 3N
• Beech 18
• Beech 99
• Beech 1900
• Boeing 377
• Bristol 170
• Britten Norman BN-2
• Cessna 337
• Cessna 402
• Cessna 404

For the modeler, you'll see lots of good details and color information for tackling that civil aircraft project. This is a nice selection of imagery that you won't find available in such clarity and size. This title is recommended!

My sincere thanks to Aero Research for this review sample!
