DUKW

DUKW on display at the Imperial War Museum Duxford.

American WW2 6×6 amphibious truck, crew of 1, powered by GMC 6-cylinder inline petrol engine, armed with one machine gun.

This vehicle entered service on the 1st July 1944. After the war it served with 18 Company RASC (Amphibious). It was finally withdrawn from service in 1974.

The DUKW (colloquially known as Duck) is a six-wheel-drive amphibious modification of the 2½-ton CCKW trucks used by the U.S. military and others during World War II and the Korean War.

The DUKW (colloquially known as duck) is a six-wheel-drive amphibious truck that was designed by a partnership under military auspicies of Sparkman & Stephens and General Motors Corporation during World War II for transporting goods and troops over land and water and for use approaching and crossing beaches in amphibious attacks.

The Flames of War model has a large resin hull with metal components.

British DUKW Section

Decided to convert a US DUKW section for use by my British forces.

It’s a boxed set of two models.

These are very nice models.

DUKW

I really do like the new Flames of War DUKW models.

I’ve always liked the DUKW and this model does capture that bizarre look that the DUKW has. Pity they are US versions, the British used 2000 of them during World War Two. Well certainly might buy a section and add some Brits to it as a conversion.
