Very nice range! There is actually a resin DUKW in 1/48 from Gasoline, I think it was released around June 2011. http://www.phpshopxml.com/quakit.shop/CID/e124f1626ffbbb6d7e036f11f732e6d4/function/itemPageDisplay/shopItemCode/GAS50214K Cheers, Christophe

Nice stuff here, but I can't see spending $25-30 on something that would cost me $5 to scratchbuild, just sayin'

I can see there is quite a bit of work in these bumpers, but I could buy two more LWSs for the same price as one bumper set... I would love a set but just can't justify it.
