Parola Armour Museum CD set

Kit #: Review by - Al Magnus

This is a two CD disk set of walkaround pictures of exhibits found at the Parola Armour Museum in 2010. All photographs are rendered as individual .jpeg images of 3,264 by 2,448 pixels. For a few of the pictures taken outside of the building shadows do obscure some of the detail. Preceding each group of photos is a picture of the information placard for the exhibit. The vast majority of the pictures are exterior shots of the vehicle. For some where doors and panels are open a few interior shots are provided, but their detail is minimal because of limited access to the inside or from screens barring entry into the vehicle.

Disk 1 is primarily photographs from inside the museum, while Disk 2 is mostly photographs shot outside. In some instances there are multiple vehicles of the same type due to there being more than one example on display at the museum, often in different markings.
