These parts are definitely pimping up the original Italeri model.

yes it does... but not all of the resin parts are good, like the splash rear cover from verlinden was to thick and not  wide to match

the kit, so i deside to use the kit parts insted,

They've been used in some port cities for water tours of the port. Interesting build, all loaded out.

Many years ago, I took one of the DUKW tours out of Tampa, FL. After we got out a ways they asked if anyone wanted to drive it. My hand was up so fast, I think I got friction burn from the air resistance! No one else was interested, so I got to drive it for about 20 minutes. Had a wonderful time!
