Hi Gang,

another stupid question from Germany. Was the dozerblade on the M46 Patton used in Korean War similar to the M9 dozerblade. That means can I use Academy`s M9 with a modified mounting?
Googlesearch proved nothing detailed.( @ Frenchy I am still learning )
Any input and pics will be helpful.

TIA

There are no stupid question (even from Germany ). According to these earlier threads, the M46 can be fitted with a M3 dozer kit :

Here's a dozer M46 in Korea (but in 1956...) :

Another one, still in Korea, belonging to the 72d Tank Battalion in 1952 :
