I understand & support your decision, Eric. You're doing great work so far
Actually, it seems to be quite difficult to find pictures of the interior of the RF-8 camera bays. I have seen pictures of the cameras on the internet but I have no idea how they are mounted.
These are the pictures that I have seen:

but I cannot find anything that shows how the cameras were actually mounted inside the camera bays. Also, I always wondered if they facing outwards or downwards.
Starfighter, any chance you could show us pictures of how you modified the RF-4 cameras?
