Hi Folks,

In a vain attempt to clear the backlog of kits currently stopping the heat escaping through the roof, I am contemplating doing a Sherman Dozer.
Has anybody got a photo of an M4A2 Sherman Dozer in British service NW Europe? Ubit ID would also be great otherwise it will be another bit of (semi) informed guesswork.

Hi Paul,

I have just found picture of M4A2 Sherman Dozer of a Royal Engineer Field Squadron, Italy 1944. It is on Pg.21 Osprey Men-at-Arms 368 The British Army 1939-45 (2) Middle East & Med.
Haven't managed to locate any M4A2 Dozers in Europe

All the Best

Two photos from The IWM website, Can't make out if they are M4A2s but should be easy enough to find out if the 2nd Fife and Forfar Yeomanry had them

Hi Pat & Lee,
Many thanks for your help.

I believe the 2nd IWM photo to be an M4A4 from the bogie spacing, but it is a useful shot never-the-less.

I have also found quite a few photos of Sherman dozers in the series of Polish books.

I won't be starting the project that soon, too many other projects to finish (or at least move into the loft),so please keep yor eyes open.

Many thanks again,
