Here is my latest work. Italeri's DUKW. Scratch-built the engine and compartment, wheel pants, and added a transfer case and wires and tubing under the intake grate. Drain holes along hull filled in as well.

Here it is.


Hope you like it.

Gino -- what happened to your pics???

They may have been a victim of the server problem.

Please re-post!

Very nice! Did you use parts of the Tamiya deuce engine or is that all scratch?

No Tamiya parts there. The engine was a left over block from some in-line 6, I think from the Revell Unimog. I cut off unnecessary parts and added what needed to be there for a WWII engine. Found engine photos here [url]http://www.kmk-scaleworld.be/walkAround/DUKW/[url]

The hawsers are painted first with MM Dark Tan, washed with a brown-grey color, and lastly drybrushed with MM Armor Sand, a rusty brown color.
