Well, here she is all painted and ready for your thoughts.
The Cougar is scratchbuilt from an Italeri Lav-25 TUA, AFV Scorpion turret and some Eduard PE. Wheels, headlights and gascans came from Maple Leaf models. I finished her up so she went into last weeks contest in the Vancouver IPMS Fall show , got second, not so bad.
Thanks go to Jason, Jim , Anthony and all the guys I can't remember to thank, for all the support and amazing referance.
As always , critiques welcome
Regards
Joker

It looks very good, Peter. I remember those from a SUE at Petawawa in -98.

Congrats Peter, a beautifully finished model.

I´m interested in details of the modification of the hull, since it will be usefull to me to build a very similar chilean vehicle, the Mowag Piranha 2 6x6...

Cheers

Thanks for the kind words. Klaus, PM me with your address and I'll send you a copy of the article on how to do the conversion. Is The Chilean vehicle the same as the Cougar?
Thanks again
Peter
