Hi Olivier

I should have guessed you had some pics of this one. Like you said on another forum, it's a good option to hide Heller's kit flaws

Interesting, does the cloth have a ballistic protection function, a thermal reduction or both?

According to the informations I've found, it's used against RPGs

(and built by AMEFO)

To add to Frenchy's answer, behind the fabric cover you have a kind of RPG-net just like the one on the VBCI.
