Are there any kits of 1/35 bulldozers that would work for Vietnam engineers.

I haven't seen any out there. I would love to have one in 1/35 scale also.

I think Tank Workshop either has or had a resin dozer kit I am not sure if it would work for Vietnam

Think you will find that the Tank Workshop one has long gone.

I know the seabees used D-8's painted OD w/black stencils

should be a kit out there somewhere

If you are still looking .I saw some on ebay yesterday
they are painted yellow . I can't remember if they are plastic or diecast .they even had a forklift. :I forgot what company made them ,I found them while looking for Russian s.a.m. Good luck


I just saw the picture posted by BM2. what I saw maybe to modern for what you need but you can
take a look just in case.

Resicast (UK) has a D7 dozer http://www.brookhobby.com/Resicast/35-142.jpg

Not sure if it's still in production though.

Sorry Dave I mean the kit not the company. Have tried on several occasions to get it but it does not seem to be in production anymore.

Here's hoping it will come back at a later date.

Hi Keenan
If you really want to take up the challenge you could scratchbuild youself a Veitnam d8 Rome plow. It can be done, you will need to get yourself a set of caterpiller tracks. I used a set of metal tracks I stole from a 1/50 scale cat carry crawler. The bulldozer with the tracks set up like a triangle. On both sides I ended up with 2 extra links left over but the width is just right.
I've got a foto break down here if you want to check it out.

Shaine, that's an excellent job,
How about doing an article on building it?
