Italeri 6392 - 1/35 DUKW Amphibious Truck: Accurate WWII Scale Replica

The Italeri 6392 1/35 scale DUKW Amphibious Truck faithfully represents the multipurpose vehicles used in World War II. Celebrated for operating on both land and water, the DUKW was a workhorse in operations where beaches and shallow harbours were involved. This kit gives hobbyists a chance to build a historically informed model with period correct proportions.

Why the DUKW Matters to Modellers

The DUKW, nicknamed the Duck, combined boatlike hull design with truck mobility to move personnel and supplies from ships straight to shore. Building this Italeri 6392 kit helps modellers understand the vehicle's role and engineering while practising scale assembly techniques and weathering for authentic finishes.

Fine Detail for Display and Dioramas

With well defined parts and realistic components, this DUKW model is suited for shelf display or inclusion in amphibious dioramas. The kit highlights the DUKW's open cargo area and distinctive hull form, allowing collectors to present a convincing mid 20th century military scene.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
  • Part Count: Detailed parts for authentic assembly
The Italeri 6392 contains many small parts and requires glue and paint, so it is best for builders with some basic modelling experience. A novice can still attempt it with patience and reference to build guides.
Period olive drab and muted earth tones suit WWII DUKW schemes. Use primer first, then acrylic or enamel paints, and apply a subtle wash to bring out panel lines and detail.
Many modellers add aftermarket decals, stowage, or rigging to enhance realism. Check compatibility for 1/35 accessories and keep proportions consistent with the DUKW form.
