Hello
I found a dozer blade in a trumpeter challenger 2 anti-heat.
Can somebody help me with photos of this tank with dozer blade in iraq?
Thank You
Chris

The USMC also used/uses the Pearson dozer blade on M1A1s in Iraq. This is the same blade found in the Trumpeter Chally 2 kit.

Here are a few pics.

great pics! I'm a little off topic here, but could someone identify the tank in the 1st pic with the bar armor hanging off it?

Looks like a Recovery version of the Warrior.
