THEscaleSHOW Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hello all Today I would like to present one of my older models, the DUKW from Italeri. I tried to simulate beach dust and OD faded by salt water. Unfortunately, details like the dashboard are (still) missing (decals got lost) and some things are not correct like the slits in the side rails. These things I will improve in the future, because I got the Tankograd 6003 Technical Manual for christmas 👍 I also got a second kit from Airfix - two are better than one 😎 Have fun!

vytautas Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Looks good! Rust and dirt give a life 👍 Clean and shiny vehicles are boring - glanced once and forgot Vytautas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve27752 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Very nice, I like the wear and tear. Is it 1/35? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APA Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Another stunner 👍 really like the weathering. Top job but......... If this is D-day then it would only have had a couple of hours 'in the field' and I'm pretty sure most vehicles on that day, while not new, were fresh for the battle. Or I might be wrong though 🤣 A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I had thought it the scene... MD 5 hours ago, diablo rsv said: Very nicely done! Wayne Hello Wayne Thank you for the good feedback! MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEscaleSHOW Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hey Stix Thanks for the comment! BTW: everything is prepared for the GB-that will be very cool (because I will try to use Tamiya snow effect in the build) 🥶 MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nheather Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Very nice model, the weathering really brings it to life. One thing I have always wondered about the DUKW is how much they actually got used. I get the sea landing landing bit but after they had hit the beach was there any further use for them. Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Nigel Hey Nigel Thanks! I am not an expert, but as far as I know, besides landing operations on beaches, it was also used to cross rivers such as the Rhine. Basically, the DUKW was a transport truck and was used like any "Jimmy". MD 18 hours ago, phildagreek said: Looks good. Thank you 👍 MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
