RewriteRule ^/models/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ models?p1=$1&p2=$2&p3=$3

Remember, that directory from "browser view" will be now /models/xx/xx/xx/ not gloal /. So be sure that links to styles, images etc. are global, because after that rewrite, they can stop working.

You can also rewrite every link (excluding css,images,swf etc.) to 'models' and parse $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] in php (explode by "/" and fill parameters from array)
