I've seen one or two distant photos taken of this attachment on an USMC tank.
Does anyone have photo references and information on this attachment ?
How does it work since it's mounted at the front of a tank, and has no other contraption but a pintle hook ahead and two eyelets on top--how does it indeed "push" a bridge ?

I'd like to scratch one.

Thanks

Thanks Gary..So "Carnivore" had one mounted..!

Errr...when you say it pushes it....OK maybe I'm not asking the right question..What type of Bridge is it mearnt to push...?

Check Blast Models, they already make one (the attachment that is).

edit-beat me to it, Gary.

Jim

I see, thanks Gary.

I know about the Blast set Jim, thanks.

Mostly I'm looking for photos of tanks that have used this device during OIF.

With this in mind,I am gathering information as I'll be producing a Magazine next year and I'd like to include the Bridge Pushing attachment as well for the scratch build articles I'm working on.

Hopefully more images will "pop" up!! Anyone?

thanks
Nick

Thanks I'll check it out!

hi all,
ok, I know, I´m a bit off topic with this, but does any of you guys got some photos of the tank named NIGHTMARES WITNESS?
the tank was used in the same platoon as CARNIVORE, and has a mine plaugh attached...
I´m asking cause I´m currently building this tank in 1:72nd scale...
I really hope you can help me...

Can anyone Identify this tank
I'm trying to make out the text on the tan-colored bore evacuator...looks like "THE ISAZO"???

I've looked at some of my pics and Echelon's decal set T35006, I'm wondering if the tank may belong to 2nd PL, C Coy...same as "Hermes"

Here's a link

"Nightmares Witness" is included on the Echelon USMC OIF decal sheet #2, which has camo and green tanks. Here is a review, with pics of full markings included, from Vodnik.

Max, you can try writing to Lawrence, and when you're done with your tank..he might appreciate photos of it on his site.

Nick, the second tank pictured with the TAB(Towed Assault Bridge) adapter is C-12, pronounced Charlie one-two or one deuce. It is from 1st Plt, C Co, 1st Tank Bn. The USMC serial number is 579694. The suns glare is obscuring the first word of the name on the bore evacuator. This tank had "Disturbing the Peace" on the right side of the bore evacuator and "Whos Next ?" on the left side. Out here.

Excellent Mike! THANKS!

PS: I sent you a PM.

@Gino: I know, I´ve got one of the last four sets ever sold but thanks anyway
@Nick: I already wrote lawrence a mail after I recieved the set, but he didn´t answered...
Two further questions though...
does anyone know if Andreas J. Elesky has got a site where I can contact him, as the pictures in echelon´s decal sheet seem to be taken by him...
and is dragon´s 1:72 abrams with mine plough still available? It isn´t listed in the online catalougue anymore and though I ordered it `bout 4 month ago, it still isn´t here not to mention I´ve never seen the new m1a1 aim in munich...

max

Guys....are there anymore photo references for the TAB?



MAX


Can't help you there mate.



Try PM-ing him.



You talking about kit 7213? I've searched luckymodel and hobbyeasy..no results, but here's an ebay link http://cgi.ebay.com/DRAGON-M1A1-ABRAMS-W-MINE-PLOUGH-1-72-SCALE_W0QQitemZ120052653923QQihZ002QQcategoryZ2589QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

There should be some online store that carries the M1A1 AIM near you...I was looking at the prices online..what a bomb they cost! Down here they go for about US$25!

thanks Nick!
