Been working on this all weekend. It is the old Mongram M48A2, corrected per my references. Added lots of stuff, ground off others. I am putting AFV tracks on it. The dozer is the Academy Dozer (M9). No one that I know of makes the M-8.

Of all the modern armor, it's the ARV's and engineering ones I like best.
That looks like a lot of work went and is going into that kit 22D.
Was there alot of fit problems with the dozer? It looks good so far.

Well, the M9 is build for the M60 hull. I had to use epoxy putty to build up the M9 to fit to the hull. I am not totally sure of the positioning, but it is about as close as I could get it. I attached the putty to the M9 assembly and then pressed it to the M48 at the right position and let it dry. Then I super-glued it to the hull. I used Tamiya putty to close the seams up.. sort of. I buit the hydrolic pump from epoxy putty, clad in sheet styrene. The pipes did not want to bend right and looks about as good as it can at this point.
The turret was a mess, lacking the hand rails, lifting eyes, etc. The travel lock was the wrong size and the hull had details molded on that I ground off. Not am at work on the detailing.
