Thanks!

I purchased the first MRAP CD and found it excellent. It will be perfect for scratch-builders and kit builders alike. I have just ordered the second in the series and based on this review I expect more of the same high quality photography at an exceptionally good price. Although the subjects are in US Military livery, the vehicles are widely used by other members of the NATO team in Afghanistan. In my own case I am interested in the Canadian Army employment of these vehicles. The detail shots and the excellent interior views will be very helpful in constructing the Canadian versions. These vehicles are not widely seen or used in North America so this is certainly an excellent opportunity to capture these unique armoured vehicles. I look forward to CD#2 and hope there are other volumes to come.

Nice review, William!
I'd like to order this as well as the first one. Is there another method of contact ? The link you provided leads to the PM function, which he does not seem to be answering.

First of all thanks for checking out the review, I'm happy it was not over looked. I am certain Rob is watching this thread so if he doesn't get back to you soon it is because he is currently in the Everglades with limited access to internet (lots of access to alligators though) ;o)
I will PM him and ask to post an alternate email address.
Again thanks for the constructive comments.
Bill

Intereasting review thanks for that!. Often modern vehicles are over looked some what with them still being deployed over sea's . Its a shame they are stilll over looked because it is hard to build accurate and up to date vehicles that have under gone re developement programs

I'm glad you liked the review, there is supposed to be another review for Volume 1 MRAP CD happening as well.

Bill, while I can neither confirm nor deny being there, my cap was, and you're right, there were quite a few potential pairs of boots sunning themselves everywhere we went. Due to uplink problems was unable to respond often, but could monitor from time to time. All PM's answered, (mailings on Monday) and thanks for the review. BTW, Mother already did the MRAP #1 review a while back.

Don't want to bore anyone with too many gator photos, but my Photobucket account has quite a few @ 18bravo_photos. The gators were fairly sedentary due to the weather. Imagine sloshing aroung the 'Glades in near freezing weather. This fella looked a little hungry though:

Nice gator shot, Robert. I linked the two reviews to each other, so folks should have an easier time finding them
