What type of dozer blade is it?
Doesn't look quite like a BTU-55 blade but what is it?

Edit 1: Seems to be an Israeli improved/reworked blade:

Wow, glad I waited for this one. My go-to place didn't carry the T-54 APC kit yet so I didn't get that first kit.

How many of these were made? Just a one off? I thought the SLA made a few of the early APC, then they made 1 with a turret with the gun removed and .30 cal mgs mounted with armored glass.

I ordered the heavy APC when it was released. I guess it's on the slow boat from China...
