yvesvidal Posted July 29, 2021 Share #2 Posted July 29, 2021 These parts are definitely pimping up the original Italeri model. Yves Canute, Old Collingwood, thibaultron and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svein erik Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted July 29, 2021 Just now, yvesvidal said: These parts are definitely pimping up the original Italeri model. Yves 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, thibaultron, Old Collingwood, yvesvidal and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canute Posted July 29, 2021 Share #5 Posted July 29, 2021 They've been used in some port cities for water tours of the port. Interesting build, all loaded out.

thibaultron Posted July 29, 2021 Share #6 Posted July 29, 2021 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!
