Hello All,

I am working on a Cdn Leo2A6M, and even though I do have hundreds of reference pics from my tour in 07/08, I do not have any on any upgrades since then, such as the thermal blanket that has been installed. Any links or pictures anyone know about? I will provide my pics in return for that favour. As a matter of fact, Andy from Storm Miniatures used my pics to create the upgrade set.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hello Ken
Combat Camera has some good pics and I have seen some stuff at Chris Jerrett's photo bucket http://s577.photobucket.com/home/cjerrett/allalbums
(it's a complement to Chris's great work on Leopards)

I'm gonna use the Echelon Modern Camouflage Netting part number D356070 in tan. The holes are shaped a little like the letter "C". I will most likely use something like foil as a backing for it.

This is gonna be the umbrella on a C2 MEXAS




cheers

I will be watching to see how it turns out. From what I see of your previous work, you should do a great model

Hi Anthony,

I wasn't attached to C Sqn, but was the Camp Electrician/Handyman at MSG. I knew alot of the guys in C Sqn since I was a crewman many years ago. I'll contact you.

Hi Anthony,

I could use any refs you have. I could give you a CD of all the reference pics I took while in Afghanistan.
