1/72 Australian DUKW
Here's my recently completed model. It's based on Czech BPM 1/87 kit but I resized it to 1/72 and recolored into Australian markings; Borneo 1945.
Australian War Memorial website was very helpful. Extremely valuable source of photos and informations. https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C22088 https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C202159 Real DUKW is really huge; 9.45m long. We can see this nicely in the last photo with Japanese Chi-He. I'm glad to have this one, especially in these markings. Australia's involvement in Pacific War really needs some more attention in our hobby. Enjoy the pictures!

Great! Kacper great work, it looks great. And it's something we do not see often, you're right, we should build more things like these, as well as others so important in history.

Nice job. I like the canvas top - very realistically rendered.

Excellent work again K-man. Yes, as it was developed from the GMC 2-1/2 ton truck, the DUKW was a big beast.
A number of these surplus 'Army Ducks' saw years of post war service in the Australian (mainly Queensland) tourist industry.
