1/35 Dragon IDF M60 DOZER Tank >DSM2 RRC Video
Posted: Mon Apr 19, 2021 9:37 pm
Have had this project on the back burner for a while and I finally caught up with model projects in the works and now have started on the DOZER project.
This project involves two 1/35 scale tank models.
1st model is a Academy M60m A1 motorized remote control (twin motor wired remote). I chose this model due to its robust gearbox which is a nylon plastic gearbox which is well designed and will outlast the equivalent Tamiya and or Mokie metal gear boxes.
2nd model is the very detailed and elaborate Dragon IDF M60 with Dozer blade. It is possible that later I may build the IDF M60 and upgrade it to a motorized Tank using the gearbox from the Academy model.
So to expedite the Dozer Tank build I will start with the excellent Academy model and develop the servo linkage for the Dozer using the Academy Tank for the initial design phase. Round two is always better and I will keep the Dragon model in reserve for phase 2 design should it evolvew that way.
Anyway, here are some pictures of what I have so far...
