Hello
I've found a picture of m1132 in Iraq with a slat, blast panels and some "cover" for a rear section.
It looks like a metal frame + mesh. Can somebody send me information what sould I use to make this "cover"?
Thanks
Chris

Its usually a camo net over a frame to provide shade and more importantly make it harder for a sniper to get a clear sight of anyone standing in the air-guard hatches. Some styrene tubing and a gause bandage should give you the materials to scratch buid it. From what I gathers in the few books I have it's a unit level modification, so there is no consistency to how they are made. I've seen photos of it covering the commanders hatch also.

Good luck,
Sean
