I planned to do this for Chris’s NQM Alamein game but when I got the orbat for the French it was evident that I needed to focus on some core armour rather than worry about bulldozing sand. So the parts (basically a Piggie FT17 hull) have sat around waiting for me to finish the job.
It’s a wonderfully quirky little beast and I have no idea whether any found their way to North Africa but I’ve ‘what-if’ed it there so it can up the Free French or Vichy engineering capability.

There are a few pictures of the construction on the Modelling Page

A superb little beast! Thank you for sharing.
Reblogged this on ausevor.
The Renault ‘dozer absolutely has a place in the orbat at corps level somewhere. Nice work!
Regards, Chris.
That isa great little build.
Cheers,
Pete.
Very nice dozer conversion. Interestingly, when I was in West Germany in the 80’s, the French Army had no dozers, while we (US) did.
