I have first to thank Eric who asked me a question about blast bags.
It required to dive back far deep in my memories to make reappear an application not used for ages! So, for those who would like to make a more realistic turret:
The canvas can be easily made with a piece of light fabric on which you will apply a pre-prepared "home-made soup"... Take three little bottles in which you pour in a same amount of trichloroethane. Then take bits of plastic remains. Drop a few bits in the 1st bottle, more bits in the 2nd one and more again in the 3rd. It results that the bits will melt giving you liquid plastic of three different thickness each that can be applied with a brush on the fabric and wrinkled while it dries.
And TA DA!
Well, this is one way. If you have any further suggestions, they will be welcome!
