Go your hardest mate, I love the bar armour version, and the cam net makes it even more apt.

I started one a year or so ago and ended up leaving it with desert camo.

The bar armour wouldn't last five minutes around an IR battlefield lol

I have the bar armor set as I have plans for a Canadian Leopard. It does NOT come with the curved side sections though they clearly show them in their pics on the web site.

Yep, with the attachment design it will not survive even a moderate bump! :thumbdown: But, it looks so darn cool I've got to find a way. :think:
