Blackburn Firebrand TF.5: references? Please help!

Hi everyone:

As of yesterday I have Magna Firebrand TF.5 in 1/48 on my bench (I'll be posting WIP soon).

I'm building the kit as a tribute to Phil "Bondo" Brandt who sadly passed away several days ago. Phil was known for building very difficult kits and esoteric subject, therefore I picked the most horrible kit I had in my stash...

I was wondering if anyone could point me in a right direction (web-site, books, magazines) to obtain good references.

I'm not totally empty handed. This is what I have presently:

Warpaint monograph on Firebrand,

From the Cockpit book

and I just placed an order for Firebrand Pilots' Notes instruction manual.

That's about it guys...

What I'm looking for in particular: close-ups of landing gear assemblies, wheel bays. But I would greatly appreciate any input.

I did not realize that there are no airframes in existence, restored or otherwise. Apparently none survived. I could not find any contemporary detail photographs....

Thanks forehand!

D.
