Hi all
I am currently making the milicast 1/76 Caterpillar D7 armoured bulldozer, I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of these machines being used during the war or after the war, as I am finding it differcult to find any.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Matt

You're welcome Matt. I'm not sure such dozers were still used after 1945 as they were considered to be too slow to keep up with tanks...

ok thanks, I had'nt thought about that.
I was more thinking about the dozers being used in Civilian use? I personally would of thought they would of been sold off to construction contractors, mining companys etc at somepoint? Just an idea
