Hey, here are the pictures of my DUKW I was building for the last three weeks or a little more, don't know. It is Italeri's kit, built OOB. Maybe I'll add some stowage, but since this is only my 4th model, I'm not familiar with scratchbuilding yet, but I have some spare parts I could throw onboard.
I've got some minor things to do before I'll treat it as finished, windows need fo be glued in place, seats, tools, accessories and some minor things are waiting to be painted, some wash and drybrushing the instrument panel and surroundings and finally some pastels applyed to cargo storage and exhaus pipe.
The model was painted with Revell's enamels, I used bronze green (nr.65) mixed with some white. That green mix was then whitened some more and used to shade the panels in cargo storage (but I used an insuffiecient amount of white, so the effect is barely noticable). The tires was painted flat black. For dusting I used highly thinned beige color (nr.89).
That's it, sugestions and critics are, as always, welcome

considering its only your 4th kit its a very clean build and good paint job with very sutile weathering think about adding some stowage like fuel cans and drums ect to cutter it up a little as it loos a little empty at the mo

Its a very nice clean build and nice weathering effect on the body and spare tire. Most od the DUKW's i ve seen in pictures and models are much weathered (chipping , scratching paint ...) due to heavy loading use and also contact with water so , maybe after heavyloading it with stuff you might consider weather it a lil more. I have started my DUKW yesterday for the Overlord Campaign and i ve done some research in the net.
Keep up the good work
