Some news out of MiniArt has a tractor sporting a dozer blade coming soon.
MiniArt has announced the next addition to the U.S. Army tractor with the addition of an angle dozer blade. This new kit looks to provide the same previously announced tractor with the addition of the dozer blade. The kit is stated to include photo-etched and marking to help finish of the kit with detail.

It'd be interesting to see a comparison between the Miniart and Mirror Models kits (even though they're not exactly the same).

Now all we need is a kit maker stepping out there (take note MiniArt) and release in sprue a version of a WW2, Korea, etc., 6 wheeled road grader/caterpillar in 1/35!!

And some scrapers and excavators.

ALLRIGHT, JOHN!!! How about a US Army/USMC/SEABEES steam-roller and a Bucyrus-Erie steam-shovel, or crane with choices of lifting hook or clam-shell bucket??? I'd like to see a dedicated plastic kit of the T-2/M31 Tank Recovery Vehicle- (based on the M3 Medium Tank chassis and upper superstructure) There are resin conversion kits of this puppy out there, but it would be so much easier to have a plastic kit, ESPECIALLY for our novice-modeller friends... It's nice to see that SOME of the kit manufacturers are finally broadening their horizons as far as more US/Allied subjects are starting to appear on the market!!!

And once again I have to ask . . . . Why do these manufactures both have to come out with esentually the same kit at the same time? Don't these guys ever talk to each other? I assume the mold makers are contract groups separate from the model companies themselves so doesn't the word get around as to who's producing what? Right now Miniart could have been releasing a grader or a steam shovel and both companies would have sold more total units than going head to head against each other selling the same vehicle! (I have say I prefer the angled blade option. Don't know why Mirror missed out on that detail.)

hi John, For my understanding: do you say that this is NOT a ww2 version? If not, is the Mirror version one? Please, some words about it! Thanks in advance, Paul

I'd still settle for the 1950s version of the Dodge 3/4 ton power wagon (drove one while in the 17th ENG Batt. 2nd Armored in the '60s)

This one would be perfect for the "workhorses" campaign that starts August 1st! Here. On ARMORAMA!

I guess John is asking for a WW2 6 wheeled road grader/caterpillar in 1/35. Mirror dozer is indeed a WW2 one On a side note, there's a resin 1/35 WW2 grader available from Plus Models : H.P.
