Technical stuff:
The System requirements as stated on the CD are:
1. Windows 98/ME/2k/XP
2. Minimum 800x600 16k Screen Resolution
3. Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater

It should have no problems running on any system and if the CD doesn’t auto start then just run the file autorun.exe to bring up the start page, from there click on the menu items down the right side of the screen to bring up each page and just click on the thumbnails to view the images, each new image opens in a new window so just close this to get back to the menu page you were on.

Conclusion:
A very useful CD packed with excellent close-up images with a wealth of details for modellers interested in Russian vehicles from WWII to present.
The CD also contains the full Model Point catalogue so you can see the full range of update and detail sets available.

Highly recommended.

Thanks to Dmitriy from Model Point US for the review sample.
