[TANKS] Re: (it's not a Sherman...) it's a M42
That was my next guess. The Duster is really easy to drive. I wish I had video of me driving the one at Ft. Snelling or the Bulldog. The Duster and Bulldog are built on the same chassis. The main difference between the two is that the Duster has a manual pump to prime the fuel system while the Bulldog has an electric primer. My daughter got to ride in the Duster turret when I drove it in the Expo two years ago. One of these days I will get the video of me driving the M114 during this year's Expo up on YouTube.

I guess I should've know to qualify that statement. That's the only difference as far as driving them. The engine, tranny, tracks, bogies, sprockets, and most of the deck plates are the same. There are differences in some of the hull areas and of course the turrets. Derek T065 On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 11:54 PM, odysseyslipw...@aol.com wrote: In a message dated 8/15/2009 12:46:32 A.M.

The Duster has twin AA guns... Bofors, I think... There is a static example fairly near me, if you need pics.
