I need Photos of a Sherman Dozer that was used in WW2,And I color photo of the Dozer blade for weathering.
I am planing to do some "What if" Captured tanks and so I am stating with Sherman Dozer.
And is the Academy 1/35 M4A3 Sherman with Dozer Blade a good kit?

Hi Tim,

For the photo questions... Google is going to give you all sorts of photo results.

For example, googling "m4 sherman dozer" and then only for black and white photos, results in this:

You should also do a search for bulldozers, as the blades of a modern day bulldozer will weather similarly to one from the 1940's.

As far as the Academy kit... well, the dozer mount is a 'hybrid' design that's kinda between the two actual designs that were used. The Sherman itself is passable, but isn't as good as some of the newer Dragon or Tasca kits.
