Hi all
Im just about to start building Cromwells Cougar 6x6 MRAP and would really like to build a Canadian variant.
Im having trouble finding pictures and reference materials for MRAPS in Canadian service and was wondering if anybody had any pics or can point me in the right direction.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Regards, Nick.

A couple good Canandian Cougar references are:
"Canadian EROC: Buffalo, Cougar & RG-31"; Published by REAL Model and is MPA 002 In their Modeler Photo Assistant Series. The book is authored by Rick Saucier and Miroslav Hraban.
Also, A Photo CD-ROM called "Canadian MRAP Series AFV's Photo Reference" is available directly from JK "Ken" LeClair (the creator) via email at

You will find several changes from the kit need to be done....the gunner's turret is different....the ramps are carried on the front left fender (not included in the kit).....there is a stowage box on the left rear side that needs to be added....and the various spotlights should not be mounted.
Good luck with your project.
