1:35 Rome Plow from Vietnam

I like this photo a lot:

Looks to me as if it’s the “house” like in the kit, plus no armor on the radiator (I think it looks good) and probably no armor on the engine sides (I’d like to show the engine off).

This photo is a mirror image (“stinger” on the blade and boxes in the “house” are on the left side of the tractor).

Thanks again for posting!

And I’m painting the engine, I should be able to have an update for you soon!

Have a nice day

I’ve edited my post. The one just above it was a mirror one as well…

It belonged to the 60th Land Clearing Company “Jungle Eaters”. You’ll find more info about this unit (and the use of the Rome Plow) in this magazine :

The one below the D9S was , I think an Allis Chalmers? We trained on them at Leonard Wood, but they were being phased out in favor of all Cats. Correction, they were IH TD-20s. Also, fromlooking at the D9 on the trailer you can see what I meant about the blade overhang. Can you imagine hauling that down a narrow 2 lane highway? Wayne

I’d rather not imagine coming at the posted legal speed from the other direction …
