We get down with the dirt on MENG’s new built up 1/35th scale D9R ARMORED BULLDOZER preview…

MENG has just released another kit from their “Stegosaurus Series “ – the wonderfully looking D9 Armoured bulldozer – there are just so many possibilities of weathering and customisation for this vehicle the mind boggles – well they have made one up already so we thought that we would show you a little of what is possible with this kit.

Kit SS 002 1/35^th scale D9R ARMORED BULLDOZER

D9 bulldozer which has been used by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) since 1956 is one of the best bulldozers in the world. In October 2003, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) developed an all-new armor protection suite- Daqhpor Memugan- for D9R bulldozers which are heavily equipped in the IDF. This armor suite consists of an armored cab with high visibility as well as protection for engine, fuel & oil tanks and hydraulic and electrical systems.

The D9R bulldozer owns good protection and could even protect against RPG attack after being fitted with slat armor. Light weapons like machine guns can be mounted on the top of the cab for self-defense. It has been proved to be an efficient and durable combat support platform.
