I recently completed a 1/35 scale Italeri DUKW and am looking for a driver and gunner to man this vehicle.

I intend to include this vehicle as part of an Iwo Jima diorama so if you could recommend figures that are clad in period USMC uniforms, it'd be even better.

Furthermore, I intend to have the gunner turning and firing the .30 cal broadside at a column of charging Japanese infantry, so if you could recommend a figure that I could position in this manner, it'd be even better.

Thank you in advance.

I would assume that no one currently makes a driver or gunner especially for a DUKW, but I would assume that they produce a driver and gunner for a 1/35 CCKW and they could be easily adapted.

Unfortunately, I have yet to find such a set.

There is a set of marines available for your DUKW. The co-driver is sitting on the seat though, not firing the .50. The set is from warriors no.35590 (DUKW crew).
Hope this helps.

Thanks Rob, the DUKW driver should certainly prove useful and I have plenty of other projects (including an unarmed DUKW) in which I could use the passenger.

Now, all I need is a USMC gunner.

If any of you know where I could find a 1:35 USMC gunner to operate my DUKW's .50 I'd be all set.

Thank you for your information, and thank you in advance to whoever knows where I can find the gunner.
