Engineer vehicles are always so cool and anything with a dozer blade is got to be an eye-catch for me. Must be the kid in me.

Cheers Rob.

On HobbyFan (the parent company for AFV Club) website it's listed as "Coming soon":

http://www.hobbyfan.com.tw/index.php/Home/Product/detail/tid/4/id/1276.html

It's not unusual for AFV to announce something and then take ages to release it.

Also, on HobbySearch it's listed as coming up in Late January, so not much longer?

David Chou, who is pretty close to AFV Club, the day before yesterday (12/12) posted the finished model on FB.

Once again I offer an alternate color scheme for the 728 but I can't tell you the unit or any historical info.

I missed the AVLB from Dragon because I was out of town at the time. Maybe I'll catch one of these.

Sorry for my delay. Christmas has had me a bit busy.

I am undecided as to whether I will build the Vietnam vehicle or the Hawaii based vehicle. I like the marking scheme of the Hawaii based vehicle but I have always been interested in the Vietnam conflict as well.

Thanks for the picture previews. The Hawaii version does look cool with the safety yellow over green.

The safety lines on the blade come as a decal. I will probably start a build log here after New Years.
