Awesome historical post, Nick. I especially like the N-1 photos that have a person in them, for scale. Makes you see how gigantic this machine was. Also, on a modeling note: Vincent Meens' 3D models are really beautiful. He puts in ALL of the tiny details that the big model companies skip. I have several of his models, and I advised him on his Apollo LRV. I already have the N-1 model from RealSpace Models, or I'd definitely buy his.
I would like to pint out though that at least one reference photo shown is an old one by Alex Schliadinsky, and if that was the basis for the model, accuracy will not be as good as it could be.
One reason I was happy to recommend Vincent Means' models was that I know he is meticulous in his research.

Vincent has always been the best at attention to fine details!

One is for free with cutaway option and detailled interior

Awesome!
Fantastic as always Nick!
Thanks for taking the time to say that!
I was surprised to be sent colour versions of several of the images, (though still not great quality).
