I've been looking at Tamiya's accessories kit for the duce and half truck and I've got a question. Anybody out there have this kit? It's p/n TAM 35231. This is the kit that adds a .50 machine gun and other items to their truck kit. One picture I've seen of the kit shows it having closed canvas doors for the truck. Every other picture shows the canvas doors as being open but rolled back. I'm going to be doing a winter scene with this model and this is something I want to make sure it has.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, the canvas doors are provided in the kit. Nice too.

Thanks Gunnie.
None of the hobby stores in town carry this and I didn't want to buy a pig in a poke.

Are those examples of your work on that link you include? Dang, you've got some good stuff there. I really like the fact you show mostly US vehicles, the 'good guys', with none of that panzer junk. How did those two volkswagons sneak in?

Yes, that's my personal website/business portfolio - though I don't advertise it in a big banner. I am an American AFV fan through and through The VW's, pesky critters that they are, just leapt up onto my workbench crying out to be built - again, and again, and again...

I've got them under control now!!!

As Gunnie mentioned, it does have the doors. I think we both bought the kit for the gun ring on our DUKW's.

Iam pretty sure that I have the accessory kit your talking about. Comes with the 50cal, and some accessories that add on the front of the truck right? Fuel cans, other things?

if so i got it. and if you need it let me know.
