Italeri 1/72 DUKW Amphibious Truck Kit for Model Builders

This Italeri 1/72 DUKW Amphibious Truck kit gives hobbyists a practical way to build a compact replica of the versatile World War II vehicle. Celebrated for carrying cargo from ship to shore, the DUKW was crucial in wartime logistics. The kit reflects the vehicle's amphibious function, making it a nice fit for anyone assembling historical dioramas or themed collections.

Proven Wartime Utility

The DUKW was created to simplify supply movements across coastal landings, allowing forces to move stores without complex transfer steps. Its practical hull and drivetrain handled mixed terrain and shallow water runs, and after the conflict the platform found peacetime roles in rescue and civil tasks, showing its practical design.

Assembly and Detail

This 1/72 scale Italeri kit delivers clear detailing that helps builders capture the DUKW's distinctive lines. 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.

Fits in Any Military Display

When finished, the model offers a compact, accurate representation that sits well alongside other WWII ground and amphibious vehicles. Its scale makes it easy to include in shelf displays or small dioramas, and its historical pedigree gives it immediate collector appeal.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Required
  • Paint: Not included
Expect a moderate build: parts fit are generally good but small components require steady hands and basic modelling tools like fine cutters and plastic cement.
Standard olive drab or period-correct military greens provide an accurate look. Use primer first, then acrylic or enamel hobby paints. Consult reference photos for unit markings.
Yes. 1/72 figures and simple resin or acrylic water scenic techniques work well to create landing scene dioramas around the DUKW model.
