I also am in need of model editors to go through these models and check

do you need to own the set to be able to check it? or would the
instructions suffice?

That's a great question.  Someone with only the instructions ought to be
able to find suspicious looking things (e.g., potential mistakes), but
probably can't prove something to be 100.00% correct.

Some LEGO instruction booklets do contain errors from time to time, BTW.

I would have to say that to check these it would be highly reccommended
that you have the actual set.  but again, that depends on the size and
complexity of the model.  Obviously just instructions would do for a small
car, but might not for say the launch and load seaport red Atlantic boat.

It does depend on the model... a large but uncomplicated model could
theoretically be checked by instructions in 3d view if the pieces are in
instruction order.

That's another thing, do we want to require the pieces to be in instruction
order like the booklets?
