Is it possible to have a dozer blade attached to M4A3 76? I can't find any pictures nor documents to support this question. I'm not a big fan of the sherman or well versed in it. I just got dragon's premium kit in the mail today for almost nothing and looking at doing something a little bit different. I had an idea of a dozer equiped sherman pushing an abandon tank out of the way to clear the road. Nothing more I have a spare 75mm sherman turret laying around I could swap out.

Looks like a "what if" build to me. I'm sure that somewhere along the line, a Sherman M4A3 76 had a dozer blade attachment. However, dozer blades usually fell under the engineer's discretion.

Would this one work?

Thanks Graeme,
That does help some, even though it's from the Korean war, but does at least show a 76mm equiped with a dozer blade. I did however get a picture from Roy showing a M4A3 76 equiped with a blade from the 739tb during WWII.



Now if I can only figure out when and where this picture was taken. I don't know anything about the unit, but if I had to guess, somewhere in Germany.
