Proven Wartime Utility

The DUKW was created to simplify supply movements across coastal landings, allowing forces to move stores without complex transfer steps.

Parts are moulded to represent the vehicle structure, offering a rewarding assembly for modelers who appreciate historical accuracy and neat panel lines. The small scale keeps the project manageable while still rewarding.
