Have the same kit. Botched up the first one I forget how. I have never seen a Sherman with a plow on it. I’ve seen wartime tractor with plows but never a Sherman. I’d love to see that one built up.

Dozer tanks were critical to clearing the beach obstacles on D-Day

There are three builds I know of on SPAM for that kit. One was a freebie when we could get samples, Handiabled built it, I think. Great job.
The other was one I built, not so great.
Cherry lock did one, too.
Can’t find the first rwo.
Tom, is that the kit I sent you? Build I’d young man.
