Autocarro Anfibio GMC DUKW-353 »Duck«

Recensione del Modello Airfix in Scala 1:76

The Airfix kit of the DUKW is very popular in this scale. The amphibious truck may be built con o without the metal covers over the wheel-wells, e the mitragliatrice contraerei mount is an optional assembly as well. Giocatori Wargame may favor the soft plastic DUKW also available from Airfix, but the plastic kit is more detailed ed equally affordable. However, the soft plastic version of the Duck può essere più facilmente convertito to a waterline model, ed it may be used to replace the complete model of the Duck during water movement. Doing so adds realism e visual appeal to wargame scenarios at very little cost.

Valutazione

Scale model con good detail, although the Airfix kit does not show the same high-quality surface texturing of the ROCO DUKW.
The model may be built con o without the metal covers over the wheel-wells, as can be seen in many historic photos of the Duck.
Compatibile con Fujimi, Matchbox, e Nitto.

The material thickness of the separate windshield is not to scale. The actual part should be a thin canvas splash cover con built-in windows. Serious modellers will want to built a replacement part from tissue paper an clear plastic sheet.
The due jerry-can holders at the rear of the vehicle are not built to scale. It will be easy to replace them con more accurate parts built from cardboard. Unfortunately, there are no jerry-cans in the kit.
La mitragliatrice contraerei is not detailed enough, e there is no commander/gunner figure to use it.
Noticeable mould ejection marks on the winch ed inside the vehicle need to be filled prima di dipingere.

The Airfix kit of the DUKW is fun to build e paint. Giocatori Wargame e dioramisti interested in recreating lo sbarco in Normandia o any of the other important landings will need a number of amphibians of this type.
