... well, Full-Reuenthal is probably off-topic here

You are right, we've got carried away Laughing

... well, Full-Reuenthal is probably off-topic here, but most of these pics are blurred and not the whole tank is on it.

Have you had a look at my pics yet? I've been in Reuenthal regularly, just 1h drive away...

I only have one request: The 35mm gun turret on the Piranha 10x10. Some top shots would be more than welcome. Thanks!

I just realized I have little if any "pole" shots covering the Mowag vehicles! I added this to my to-do list for next visits.
But you are lucky, since before I've got into the "pole fever" I took a few pictures from above using a tele-photo lens. I think this should fit your needs.

No need to say that any additional info about the vehicle or its turret is more than welcome

I am in the office right now. I'll look into my archive because I feel I have one. Worst case, I'll take it on next visit.

There's no rush.
BTW, I found the webshots album yesterday, when I was looking for Tornado 1 pics to compare them to the Pirat. it's good, but as you wrote, the expanded museum should afford better photo opportunities.

P-O has a gallery here too:

Both of these galleries dates to a few years ago, before the Museum expanded. Now the whole ground floor in the first hangar is dedicated to Mowag, with vehicles that weren't visible before.

A few years ago, I'd found this gallery about the museum in Full. It may be worth checking it out to complement Massimo's amazing photos.

Finally, there is also the Trojan. A very nice-looking vehicle:

Let me know if you need more pictures. I have a few, including at least some "pole" shots.
On top of that Win D. is coming to Full in late July and I plan to join him over there. So, I accept special requests too

In Full it's labeled as 3M1.

They also have another Tornado, in what should be its 1979 configuration:

Mowag 3M1 in Full:

It has the wide track with the two rubber pads per link, plus the troop compartment machine gun mount and the cannon with the conical flash suppressor, which would make this the vehicle marketed by MOWAG as the Tornado 1.
Thanks for the pics!
