This is the Italeri 1/72 DUKW with the addition of the fantastic Goffy canvas & crew set and ExtraTech PE set.

Thanks!

Thanks vinnie a great build and in 1/72 very very nice and love the added detail- shame that some of the beautiful etch pieces hardly show

Thanks Ian, I know what you mean, it's always a shame I feel, to paint models that have lots of brass on them, My girlfriend feels the same... "It looks kinda nice and shiny....!"

Great job Vinnie. I picked up the ExtraTech PE set, but no other aftermarket for the DUKW. I am planning on trying to repair the model kit tires by using the war gaming version wheels. Once I figure out how to do it, I can write up a "how to" fix the M8 and DUKW tires.

Thanks Robin, and since I'm going to build another of these to use the tarp a run down of what's wrong with the wheels would certainly be useful!

Excellent article Vinnie. I am impressed by the PE set, it really gives a fantastic level of detail. I was most impressed by your finish job. Excellent weathering at that scale.

Teacher, that was a really great review! The pictures were excellent and showed off the detail so well I kept forgetting that the model is 1/72 instead of 1/35. I am just getting started in "braille scale" armor and look foreward to more great reviews.

Hey Vinnie!

One word: Amazing!
What a detail for a braille scale model! Great review also and it's very inspiring.
I really enjoyed reading and love the pictures!
My only, only, only, nitpick.... with all that perfect scaled detail added, I found the steeringwheel rather 'big'.
But that is the only thing.

Aw Paul! I had to find a bigger steering wheel, the little 1/72 guy I keep to advise me on these things said the kit one was too small! :-) Thanks for the comments!
