Roger,
We are supposed to come to oneself aid and I think that selling photographs is a bit of a strange matter. I will still try something to look for. Tomorrow I will place photographs from first phases of the workshop.
Piotr,
In my response to your PM I suggested you search Armorama threads, where at one time or another I've posted several dozen of exactly the photos you are looking for. Selling photos is not rare - hundreds of reference books are sold every year. People are buying them for... the photos. I choose not to go that route because I can continually update my files and can and do send those upgrades (at no cost) when former customers (who number now in the hundreds) ask. No seller of reference books is going to do that.
Finally, a good part of my references were taken in Iraq, or at bases where I had limited free time. My time is just as precious to me as it is to anyone else. I could better use it in the gym, keeping up with languages, or just communicating with my family. That said,
several people have asked me if I could find photos for them in my travels, and I have done so free of charge (M88A2 engine bays, underside views of M1A2 Abrams with mine plows, to name a few) and spent literally hours hunting these subjects down for them because I could. Most recently I sent an entire ABV walk around to a guy just because I had it, and he needed it.
I won't try to change your mind about my references. This is just to enlighten you as to why people pay for others' time and labor. And as I said to you before, good luck finding what you need. Those photos are out there. I even know of a few folks who save all of them and them repost them later without even acknowledging the source. But I suppose that's okay if that's what they feel like doing.
Sometimes a modeler comes from a place where circumstances are tough, and I'll send these very references just because I feel like it, usually without being asked. Those guys know who they are, and I feel it's good karma sometimes.
