In the category of news I can''t wait to share, how about a 1/72 armored D-9 bulldozer that is a future release by Model Miniature? I was supplied with a photo of the master as it is developing. I think it looks "right" but would like to see what my cohorts on Armorama might think.

I can't say how accurate it us, but it certainly looks the part and I sure as heck want to build one when they come out. If the price is right I think I'm going to build two.

Does that not just scream at you DIORAMA with it crashing through a wall somewhere? I was collecting references to try to build one on my own eventually. Might be a simple matter of build and paint now! The value of the dollar against the Euro will be the hard part.

Definitely! You must have read my mind, LOL
And that's my concern, we may find ourselves scrapping just to get one..

I'll give Trucks and Tracks a line . I think having the D9 redecorating part of a tower block will be cool
