Armor: WW2 M1 Dozer Paint

Years ago on a construction site, I saw some equipment that the contractor had purchased from government surplus. Among these was a dozer (Catt D-4, I think but don't really remember) and a couple of generators that were a medium grey, with the remains of serial numbers stenciled in black. He told me that they were ex-SeeBee and, as I said, Government surplus. Since that time, the only other Gov. Surp. were in OD Green, with white stenciling.

Thanks for your help, John. I got some good info from others too, so I think I'm headed down that path.

Hi Gerry.

Actually, I have it in large sub-assemblies now, and the fit has generally been very good and the castings are beautifully done. I've mocked up the assemblies and there should be no hassles. The only thing I haven't had together yet are the tracks. They consist of top and bottom solid runs and then numerous individual links to connect them.

There are some hefty casting plugs and runners, but on the other hand, there was not one broken piece in the kit. The only complete negative is the alleged instruction sheet! It's little more than a listing of the pieces, and even that is difficult to decipher, no less see in the grainy photo-copied photos.

I'll write a full review when the thing is finished.
