I'm doing a Cougar for Canuck Steel and have a whole bunch of Cougar pics. However the turret is all covered up with a cam net. anyone got any good detail shots of one?

Sure, which one are you doing (later, open mesh bin or original Scorpion bin)? Got a 'few' photos of each!

Luc,
The Cougar turret never changed, it was always the Scorpion turret. There were modifications done along its life:

- wire cutters added
- original Scorpion "coffin" bin replaced by open top wire mesh sided bin
- C5 GPMG replaced with C6
- searchlight mounted for overseas missions
- rearview 5/4 ton mirrors added to wire cutters for overseas missions
- smoke grenade box rack added to turret side
