I'm building a USMC M1A1 for the gulf wars GB over on Finescale Modeler's forum called "War Pig". All the photos of the real War Pig I have been able to dig up show the vehicle with the mine plow attached. I know Tamiya makes a M1A1 with mine plow but is there an aftermarket set or way to get just the plow by itself? A google and Ebay search only turned up the full Tamiya and Trumpeter kits.

Mike,
As far as I know, the Tamiya plow is not available separately. The Dragon plow was released separately but it takes lots of work to get to a current plow. Tamiya's is a better starting point as you have surmised. Someone might have one laying around, so give the Buy and Sell Forum a shot. Good luck.

I found the DML plow kit on Ebay for $10 so I grabbed it. Is there a good article on this site that details the accuracy problems and fixes needed with the DML plow?
