Italeri 6392 - 1/35 DUKW Amphibious Truck: Museum Quality in Miniature

The Italeri 6392 1/35 DUKW model presents a faithful miniature of the amphibious truck used throughout World War II. Renowned for its ability to traverse water and land, the DUKW played a notable role in coastal logistics and landing operations. This kit gives modellers an opportunity to recreate that legacy in scale form.

Context and Appeal for Scale Builders

The DUKW combined maritime and automotive design to move men and materiel where ports were unavailable. Constructing the Italeri 6392 sheds light on the vehicle engineering and operational use, while offering a satisfying build experience for those who enjoy period correct modelling.

Scale Accuracy and Presentation

With clearly moulded parts and authentic proportions, this kit is ideal for accurate static display or inclusion in a period diorama. The design emphasises the DUKWs hull profile and cargo bay, enabling a convincing representation of wartime utility vehicles.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required

  • Part Count: Detailed parts for authentic assembly
This kit is aimed at modellers with intermediate experience given the number of small components and the need for careful assembly and finishing.
Apply base paint, then use washes and filters to simulate grime. Add chipping and subtle rust effects at edges and joints for an operational appearance.
Builders often fit extra stowage, resin detail sets or crew figures to enhance realism. Ensure any upgrades match the 1/35 scale and the DUKWs proportions.
