I just got one today. Won it on ebay. So far it looks pretty good, but when I try to use the module to view models, I get a script error. Has any else here had (or not had) that problem?

Fortunately, mine hasn't given me any trouble. I liked it too - it helped inspire me to model my first M4 model...

Gunnie,
I just tried it on my laptop, which is a year older than my desktop, and it works fine there. Go figure.
I agree. It is a good resource. I may pick up some of the others.

Well, I'm an idiot! #:-) I let the program install Quicktime (which I thought was already there) and now it works fine. A great product, once I got my head out.....

I've seen these on ebay and have considered buying one, but I wasn't sure how useful it would be to me. What exactly do you get in the package?

You get a CD containing a major amount of text and graphic data. There is a short movie of a Sherman in action. There are views of interior and exterior that you can "pan around". There are plans that you can print out in 1/72, 1/35 or 1/16 scale. Ther are some great camouflage guides that print out very well. There are marking guides, development and service histories and technical data files. Also a load of photos, some even in color. As far as I can tell, only the chamo prints and scale drawings can be printed. You cannot save the photos to your hard drive or print them.
I got mine from ebay with buy it now and payed 29,99 including shipping. It was shipped Express Mial and I had it in 3 days. The seller was from Kansas City, Mo.
Hope this helps. Message me if you have any other questions.

Hmmmmm, that's where screenprint comes in handy....... Alt-PrtScr and paste as new image in a graphics program...... that should do the trick.

You're right. It works like a charm. Thanks.

I just saw that militaryhobbies.com has this on special for $24.99. If you buy at least $50 you get free shipping. I might just spring for this one.

This is a great deal considering MSRP is $49.95.
