I know I am just being a winey plastic modeler who wants "it ALL"! - - But what, no dozer plow??? I want the bulldozer to pose on my Rogers trailer! I don't need the tractor to pull my 155mm gun. I already have my Mack NO and the High Speed Tractor to do that job. I am sure the plow with overhead cable support frame will be coming from Mirror as a later addition. WAH!

None-the-less this is great news! This model fills a void that has been left wanting for many years! Keep up the good work Mirror!

Hey good news guys; The folks over at Mirror Models assure me that when the Cat Tractor hits the Hobby Shops the full bulldozer will be available as well!

I just watched a video on Youtube about the Rendova landing. This tractor pulled everything out of the mud. 155 howitzer, cannon, 105s and the trucks assigned to haul them. There is a photo of one of these on Attu, sunk nearly to the seat, with four guys trying to dig it out with shovels. There are many, many diorama possibilities with this kit.

I really wish Mirror would share a photo of the Bulldozer as well as the Tractor. Hint, hint . . . . .

Is this an all plastic kit?

I think MM has gone across to all plastic. (Well, if it is like the other recent releases it will have a little bit of PE and perhaps a little bit of resin but mostly plastic.)

If there's any resin or photoetch I hope they provide the plastic alternatives plus the lights in transparent plastic. We definitely need more construction vehicles in plastic.
