Beggars can't be chooseers. I'm ecstatic about the resent news of dozers. First, the D9. Now, the D7! Both are on my Xmas list.

Wow! I wonder if this would be the same dozer as the Vietnam War Rome Plow...? What do you say, Frenchy (and "Hello!" by the way)?? And if so, would Mirror Models release a Rome Plow version? I bet it would be a big seller, as it looks way cool (yep, I'm biased!) With Regards and Aloha, Johnny B.

Hi Johnny Unfortunately, the D7E used by Land Clearing teams in Vietnam was significantly different... Here's a 1968 civilian D7E : and here's a 1944 Army D7 : I guess the list of differences would be quite long H.P.

Arg, that's a bummer, Frenchy!! But who knows, maybe sales will go through the roof of this one and the Meng D9R, and Mirror will be encouraged to come out with a Post War Cat, ideally a Rome Plow...yes, I can dream! Thanks, Frenchy, hope you are well, amigo! With Regards and Aloha, Johnny B.

And here's a Navy R4 built in 1943. I like it. If you like it and think it should be done, you have to express some interest in it.

Mirror Models are fast becoming my favourite model company. They´ve released and/or announced so many kits that just about clean away every wish list for the last 10 years. Why did nobody else listen?

Yes! The Seabee overhead cable op dozer. Any updates on the release from Mirror Models?

Unfortunately, I posted that back in May, and no one expressed interest in the R4, so it has been shelved.

oh, it's a kit? Resin I assume. I didn't know that was what you were talking about. That's cool though. I got several projects on the side of the bench
