The DUKW (pronounced "Duck") is the amphibious 2 1/2 ton truck used in WW2. There is a buildup picture of it here http://pmms.webace.com.au/ go to New Kits then to Italeri for the link. Here is a direct link that may work http://pmms.webace.com.au/newkitnews/nuremberg/it6392.htm
I surely want one...stop calling me Shirley.

That is one DUKWy that put on my "I want to get and build that" list.

Rob,
are these the same vehicles I saw driving tourists around Boston city center ?
Jan

The very same ones, only green

Hey Shirley......er, I mean Rob. That kit is a must have for me. Will fit in with a couple of BOB dio ideas I've been playin' with. Any word on the actual release date??

Tread.

Tread, what I was able to find, has a July release slated...and the LVT (A) 5 not till December.

Speaking of the DUKW, Skybow is releasing one too, the DUKW 353 2 1/2 ton. Is this the same or a different version of Italeries? Although no release dates to be found. They are also releasing an M37 Jeep, and an M52 105 SPH!

Tread--can you consult the General Forum for a message from me to you.
thanks
DJ

Sure DJ, which one?

Tread.

Hi!
Rob this is indeed a kit I was wishing for long years.....I ´ll buy one
Btw Tamiya made a small version (kindda jeep) a few years ago, do you know if it still available?
cheers!
Beto

I just picked one of those up Paulo...theFord G.P.A. Jeep - General Purpose Amphibious. I got it for only like 4 or 5 bucks. Pretty cool little vehicle.

Tread--I am desperately trying to take advantage of your generous offer to secure a Tamiya M3 either Lee or Grant and a Sherman M4A3 for those bargain basement prices....is it still available?
thanks
DJ

No worries DJ...got your back
Just finished all my 'shopping' yesterday, (sale ended yesterday). I believe I've got everyone's orders filled. :-) Will be contacting everyone who participated a little later on.

Tread.

Tread--you are a friend indeed! Let me know when and how much....dough is enroute once you call.
thanks again
DJ
