I’m building a miniart bulldozer for Pacific island diorama. Where the bulldozers the seebees used blueish gray or standard army Olive drab ?

At least some Army D9's used in Vietnam by Land-clearing teams were painted yellow...





But I'm digressing....

Like Wayne said they MAY be civilian contractors. I dont see any Army markings on them .and to be honest that doesnt look like Nam but I didnt see the whole country was only there a year .

All of the Rome Plows that I trained on and was around were D7s. I have seen pictures of D9s, but never was around any, so not sure if they were just there for evaluation or what. Like I said, the contractors had the normal Cat yellow equipment. Wayne

It's up to you then...The linked page is (apparently) from the Vietnam Landclearers' Association website, but the site hasn't been updated for years...I have no problem accessing the page from my home computer and from the one I use at work. Looks like they've moved to Facebook :

Anyway you don't miss much, as the picture is very small Here's the caption "Off Loading Cat D-9s. Note: Plow on left has a bent blade, caused by hitting a land mine during a cut."
