Tiger Model Designs is set to release a conversion for Tamiya's old Matilda kit. For reference, they used a privately owned Matilda Mark IV of the Littlefiled Collection.
Chris "Toadman" Hughes has worked with TMD to produce a reference CD to help those buidling the kit or working on the conversion.
The 265 pictures on this CD were taken at the Military Vehicle Technology Foundation(MVTF), Portola Valley, California in December 2004.
The photos are clear and do not suffer from harsh shadows as another in the collection did. Better still, many of the photos, which cover the interior as well, are of casting marks and other details which are usually out of focus in archive photos.
This is an excellent set even though I prefer to use the explore feature instead of the Autorun feature of the CD. This is done in the Windows environment by opening a "My Computer" folder and right clicking on the loaded CD-ROM drive. Then choose "Explore". The window will then list the contents of the CD. The photos are in JPEG format and are sufficently large for details. Doing this also allows for larger printing so as not to bring your models to the computer.
I truly recommend this CD as a great value and a must for those with the Matilda kit.
