Item description: 1:72 DUKW Amphibious truck

The 1:72 scale model DUKW has a length of approx. 117 mm.

Decals for one version.

A special amphibious version of the American tactical transport truck CCKW-353 2½ t 6×6 from General Motors was developed and built to meet the logistical requirements of the US Army’s landing troops in order to bring the cargo directly and quickly from the ships to the beach. The basic components corresponded to those of the GMC road vehicle with a six-cylinder 4,400 cm3 engine and six-wheel drive with three differentials. The DUKW was characterised by a welded, buoyant hull reinforced with horizontal ribs. Its strength was its extraordinary versatility and load capacity. It could carry a payload of 2,400 kg or 25 fully equipped men. DUKWs were used in all theatres of war by the US Army, the Marines and the armed forces of numerous allied countries. They made an effective contribution during the landings at Salerno and Anzio, in Normandy during D-Day, on Utah Beach and Omaha Beach as well as on the beaches of the Pacific.
