RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

A long long time ago, on a forum far away I started this one in plasticard. Fast forward 8 years, I'm getting sick of seeing the parts on the shelf. They have since warped and, while not crumbled like more some of the more modern styrene out there, it still displeases me...
The base is a Bruder D5K2, that I stuffed a Tamiya dual gearbox into - instructions are on Youtube for that one, so I won't bore you with that process here...

So on to the CAD.
The Cab:

The dozer blade assembly (suitably widened to suit the Bruder chassis)

I have been trying to identify this project, thinking along the lines of an armored D5 Cat. However, I cannot find any photos which suggest the cab configuration you have created. You got me!

OOH! See e.g.: https://www.amps-armor.org/SiteReviews/ ... x?id=14892

I have a full walk around from the real thing:

Tiger6: Apropos of your 'dozer project: I dimly recall (about the only way I recall anything nowadays) a movie about WWII in which a GI raises the 'dozer blade on a cat to deflect bullets, giving his fellows a chance to survive? attack? Does anyone recall the movie?

I vaguely remember a John Wayne movie about the Sea Bee's that featured sequencies with bulldozers, but haven't seen that one in decades

Immortalized on the DVD cover, and a John Wayne collectible plate!
