Hi all

I was thinking of making a model of the Sherman BARV with the M1 dozer blade using milicast kits.

I was just wondering if anyone knew if this conversion ever happened? and if any pictures exist if this converstion did happen.

Because to me it makes sense to have a machine that can wade into the water to recover a tank and then have the capabillty to be used as a bulldozer to clear beach debris etc

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Matt

ok thanks for that info, I had'nt thought of that.

I'll proberly still make it though as I think it would make a good "what if" and it would make a good beach dio with my milicast Caterpillar D7 and an old airfix landing craft.

I was also thinking of putting a winch on the BARV and possibly a small crane jib
