Only issue I see is that the blade shouldn't be squared with the hull. They shouldn't be facing directly straight. The way they are now, the dirt/debris that they would be moving wouldn't get out of the way of the tank at all. In fact it would build up in front of the blades, potentially defeating the purpose of having them. Also, it would deposit some of the debris into the path of the disembarkment ramp. In the event of large rubble, tree trunks, etc. that could actually prevent the ramp from opening.

For those thinking about doing this mod to your Land Raider (or other tanks), you should point the blades outward-facing and the outer edge should extend beyond the tracks on either side so as to channel debris away from the front of the tank. Think: snow plows.


Other than that, it's a nice, simple mod that stands out from the norm.
