Right Nice Gino… Great build.
Great work as always Gino , I like the engine comp. Hey you can take a ride on one of these things in boston right now , now sadly ,they are relagated to a lame tourist trade , but I suppose at least they were not scrapped as so many WW2 vehicles have been , the same Iidea was attempted in portland maine last year but it sunk like a , well like a steel duck ! Anyhow great work on yours !
Shawns right… Tourist love’em. Here in Hot Springs, being a tourist town with a lake running through the middle of it, we have them all over. I live on the route to the lake so I have those things passing my casa 20 times a day… If ya’ll remember a few years ago we had one sink here… Very Tragic, 13 people drowned. These have metal canopies built on them and the way they are made there was no way to really escape from the front as the passenger load and unload from the back. The duck went down butt first which trapped all the people up by the drivers area. Now I have noticed that they are rolling around town with the windshields down. Now whether there doing this because its hot or as a precaution i don’t know but it seems like a good idea.
Anyway I’m gettin off topic.
Again very nice build.
Excellent looking model. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve seen the tour DUKWs, they have them in Tampa, FL too. I have been toying with the idea of doing another up that way. Would be an interresting justaxposition to have them next to each other on the shelf, kinda the old and the new.
Gino,
came back, and of course i can see the pics now.
Excellent job!
“Affflackkk!!” Great job.
