This sounds like a very nice addition to any Panther library.

About camo-schemes, does it give an insight into which factories applied what camo on late war Gs?

If I look through my archive of pictures, although it is al factory finishes, you still see so many variations.

Question on the cost, is it $29 USD as you said in your post or 29 Pounds? When I checked the site it's listed as 29 pounds, with currency exchange that's like $57! lol

Sorry Maurice

My apologies

All the prices are supposed to be in pounds - I have changed them to reflect this

Thanks for clearing that up, hope the dollar bounces back soon!

Yeah the echange rate really sucks for you guys at the moment. However, just to give some background on the disc and the reason for the price:
When compared to similar CD based products last issued 6-7 years ago:
Probably around 3000 man hours went into making it
Increased storage size - data DVD format allows for images to be displayed in far higher resolutions and display quality. (DVD holds 1.5Gb of content)
The screen interface has increased from 800x600 to 1024x768 allowing for more content to be displayed on screen
Quicktime VR panoramas are much larger in display size
Design structure is Flash based allowing much more scope for both interactive content and navigation.
Pricing at £24.95 is now cheaper than 6-7 years ago

Hope this eases the pain somewhat

Brian
