M1A1 mine plow?

I think at one point Dragon or Academy offered up some mine plow kits separately. Beyond that, I do know that if you pick up the Trumpeter M1 Panther kit, it has the option of the mine roller or mine plow, so you could build it with the roller and still have a plow to use elsewhere.

It took a bit of digging on Ebay but I finally turned up the Dragon plow kit. I know it's not as accurate as Tamiya but for $10 I'll do a little updating work.

You can also get the Hobby Craft M1A1 kit with a plow. It's cheap and the kit is not very good, I used mine copy mostly for parts to build an M1 IP and have the plow left for another project.

Also, the Trumpeter 5-in-1 Abrams kit includes a plow and a roller.  It will build into an Army M1A1, Army M1A2, or an Army M1 Panther II, and has the plow and roller to give you 5 different options.  It is the same plastic as the Hobby Craft kits as well.  It usually goes for about $25.

Trumpeter's Abrams are OK, but have an issue.  The left front of the turret is a little short and has the wrong angle on the lower edge.  It needs to be built up so it is horizontal across the front, not angles up.

Another downside to the Trumpeter kit is that the roadwheels are retained by a poly-cap representing the central wheel hub, which presses on from the outside (like some of the older Tamiya kits - eg. T-34 family). On the Tamiya and Academy kits the poly-cap is sandwiched inside the wheel pairs. On the Dragon and Italeri kits the wheels are glued directly to the suspension arms.

OH YES! The AIM and SEP kits make me drool.
