City Beneath the Sea Aquadozer

Aqua-dozer miniature from City Beneath the Sea (NBC-TV, 1971). Resin and wood miniature "aqua-dozer" painted in gold and light yellow, with "PACIFICA" decals on each side and "402" painted on the front just above the cockpit. Behind the front window, the miniature operator can be seen at the controls. Two massive bulldozer blades protected in black rubber protrude from the front, and the miniature is wired to illuminate. A removable panel is flush with the top of the miniature, which allows access to the electrical wiring. Measures 16 in. long. An absolutely beautiful miniature, of exceptionally high quality and craftsmanship typical of an Irwin Allen production.
