Hi chaps,
Thx for the replies. :thumbup:
I dont know how to post a video,
I think the bar armour is more of a british thing, as i have not seen any US cougars with bar armour, i think the british version is called something else with the bar armour, Mastiff i think, but could be wrong.

No unpainted pictures showing warts and all?

That's my favourite part of these scratch builds out of bits of plastic and metal :thumbup:

Anyway, this looks excellent :clap: :clap:

As for videos, if you upload videos to YouTube, then you can paste the link in a post :thumbup:

I have seen the bar armor on them in Afghanistan on American MRAPs of all kinds. I've seen a lot of them after they were hit by IEDs and most looked like they fared pretty well as far as the troop and driver's compartment go. Nice build.
