Here are some photos from the COLLEGE EYE EC-121 task force's time at Korat RTAFB: http://www.westin553.net/batcat08.htmNot a lot of the aircraft, but many of the base, useful if you're doing a diorama.

Some photos of the Ubon RTAFB F-4 flightline: http://us-mil-thai.tripod.com/id12.htmland http://us-mil-thai.tripod.com/id20.html (this site has a number of other excellent photos as well)

The US Air Force makes many of its official or quasi-official histories available online freely. While rarely having many useful photos, there is much information on what the USAF thought of the war and how it approached carrying out its roles during the fighting. As an American taxpayer, you may consider these my gift to you.

Here is a list of Vietnam related kits and models. I'm not sure how up to date it is as I have not looked at it for a while.
