Italeri 1/35 Dukw Model Kit

The DUKW ("Duck") was an amphibious truck that could drive on roads and swim across water, providing seamless cargo transfer from ships to shore without harbor facilities. Over 21,000 were built, and DUKWs were critical in every Allied amphibious operation from Sicily to Normandy to Iwo Jima. Based on the GMC CCKW truck chassis with a watertight hull and propeller, the DUKW solved the critical logistics challenge of supplying beachheads. This 1/35 Italeri kit captures the unique amphibious truck with both land and water operation details.
