Hi, I'm looking for some advice please! I want to model a DUKW that has sustained damage from driving into a steel anti-tank "hedgehog"..... how thick was the "skin" of the DUKW? Would it easily be punctured by a steel girder? Thanks for any help!

I guess the DUKW skin was rather thin ...



Here you'll find some informations about the thickness of the steel plates used for the DUKW hull (just scroll down to the middle of the page..) :
