has anyone here managed to fix a dozer blade onto their tanks? there is a serious lack of rc construction equipment that will work on surfaces other then carpet... So I was thinking I might try to mount a blade on the front of my pershing and see how that works... I know it don't like too much sand in the treads...
Hello stuff, haven't seen you around much lately.Hope your still having fun with your model's.
Thought this may be of interest to you. This can be found on ( Wikipedia ) and is very interesting.
"Cromwell Tank" (wikipedia ) will show the Centaur tank body with a dozer blade attached (done in the early 40's )
Also look up===" Armored Bulldozer" (wikipedia) that also shows this tank amoung others.
And also "Centaur Dozer" Where it says issued to the 79 th armoured division in Belgium during the latter part of 1944.Also says one of these tanks is part of a collection at Bovington and another is part of a private collection in the UK.
I allways wanted to make a RC Dozer in military colors to go with my tanks but never found a good canidate to work on.If you do a build adding a blade to one of your tanks i hope you may also post it on RCTankWarfare and share it there also.Would be very interested in seeing your build on one adding a dozer blade.We have a place there for just about anything that was used by the military in dealing with warfare -All the best to you- BIGMIG
P.S. The artical says a regular tank could not keep up with the rest of the armour,so this is what the brits came up with.For it's time I think this was very clever idea
