Photos back up- DUKW w/ scratch engine
Posted by HeavyArty on Monday, August 2, 2004 11:27 PM
Here is my latest work. Italeri's DUKW. Scratch-built the engine and compartment, wheel pants, and added a transfer case and wires and tubing under the intake grate.

Here it is.





Hope you like it.

Nice looking duck! That engine is great! Plenty of room in that engine compartment, you could put a few stowaways in there and nobody would know.

Thanks for the comments. I plan to put it on a base with the two mechanics from the Tamiya M26 Recovery Vehicle set and some tools and other small items around it.

Excellent job scratch-building the engine. Very nice build indeed! I've got one of these in the stack as well.

Enjoy your modeling...

I wish I could see it!!! I'm blocked to most webhosting services.

My son and I are going to Boston in a few weeks, and if we can get tickets we'll be riding one of these things. I'll mention your name!

Alright?? I had viewed this post earlier and got the dreaded "X", but all is well now. Gino, the engine build is just great. The planning that goes into scratchbuilding is just got to be mind boggling! I'm just not equipped talentwise or emotionly to produce that kind of quality, but I sure envy anyone who can achieve the kind of results you get. my compliments, and look forward to seeing more of this project and your other builds. semper fi, mike

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.

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.
