During Operation Desert Storm, the 401st Air Expeditionary Group took in two M60A3 tanks, fitted with M9 dozer blades to be assigned to their EOD squadron. Both tanks were nicknamed “King Kong” and “Godzilla” and assigned to the 401st Armored EOD Sqdn.

Takom offers the decals for the USAF version on their 1/35 M60A3 with M9 Dozer Blade kit.

Correct. They were to be used to fill in a possible runway bombing damage by Iraq. It was the only engineering assets in Qatar. Looks like they scaled down the 1/35 decal sheet with all its problems. I have a post on the issue on the site somewhere. My buddy took that photo.
