The CD ROMs
The CD’s come in a standard CD type slim jewel case with a printed insert containing a picture of the vehicle featured in the CD. On the inside cover you will find a list of all the contents and their sub headings. The CD’s as well have a well printed label so that you wont get them mixed up. Overall a very professional presentation that is both pleasing to the eye effective. . The CD’s have an automatic start up for Windows users and they utilize a web browser based system that will run the CD on your web browser. I used it with Microsoft IE and with Moezilla Firefox without any problems.
M551 Sheridan
This CD could not have come at a better time with the recent release of the Academy Sheridan you will now be able to find the details that need to be improved upon by just the click of a mouse. Included on this CD are over 160 High Resolution (an average of 300k) pictures of a very nicely restored and maintained Sheridan. The Shots range from overall shots to very specific detail images that you will not usually find in a reference book. There is a nice balance of exterior and some very detailed interior shots that will come in very handy if you want to fully deck out your Sheridan. I looked at every picture on the CD and I could not find one picture that was out of focus and or blurry or too dark.

M4A3(76) and M4A2(76) HVSS
Upon opening this CD I couldn’t believe the shear number of sub categories I had to choose from. With over 400 High Resolution pictures to browse through you will be able to zoom in on just about every inch of these two tanks inside and out. Again as with the Sheridan CD all the pictures are well focused and well lit. Being somewhat of a Sherman nut myself I couldn’t help but find myself clicking the forward button and just soaking up all the pictures of the interior and the detail shots you NEVER see in a reference book.

Conclusion
These CD’s are well worth every penny and will pay for themselves time and time again. The Simple web based design makes it very easy to navigate and if you wish to print a picture off for your own use its just as easy as clicking the print tab. I could find no problems with either of the CD’s with either the content or the operation. I can without reservation recommend these two highly valuable reference tools. I will be picking up all of the Sherman CD’s for myself.
A Special Thankyou to Chris “Toadman” Hughes for supplying the review samples.
Please note that all the pictures here have been reduced in size and quality for public viewing. the Images on the disc's are much larger (more than twice the size) and higher in quality.
