Not exactly type was used during WW2 but could be modified to RC:

Looks like a fun project!. A pity that the fully equipped one is only a diecast static model. Still, it would make a good maquette for an RC version. :thumbup:

These excellent Norscot and SpecCast dozers are readily found at farm toy shows here in the U.S., but as you can see, they are expensive. That pole longitudinally mounted to carry the cable from the power take-off came, quite understandably, to be called a "Noggin Knocker." :)
