Chris "Toadman" Hughes is well known for his vehicle walkarounds at his site:
http://www.toadmanstankpictures.com/

However, the sizes of the images have always been limited due to bandwidth.  Happily, he thought of producing these CDs with images in a large format, 1504 x 1000 pixels, at a high 300 dpi resolution.

This particular CD is one of several done in collaboration with Tiger Model Designs.  TMD will issue a limited number of these CDs with their products.

In this volume, the M5A1 Stuart is covered in detail with 208 sharp and well-lit photos.  These cover the beautifully restored Stuart in the Military Vehicle Technology Foundation, Portola Valley California, inside and out.

Thanks to Jacques Littlefield’s commitment to authenticity, the Stuart has some nice touches captured in the photograph in the form of period stowage such as rations, radios, canteens, etc.

The hull hatches, including the rear engine bay doors, were opened for the photo shoot and, with the complete stenciling, makes this CD a must have for any Stuart modeler’s library.
