Italeri's 1/35 scale DUKW is available online from Squadron.com

Here is my 1/35 scale Italeri DUKW.

Additional items were mostly home made parts using aluminium foil. These included shovels, headlight and tail light guards , bucket, straps , jerry can holders. I then used plastic card and tube to make the anchor and the bilge pump (fully hollow with scale cross wires at base).

A spare pair of Italeri wheels were opened up to represent hollow spare tyres. The life ring with new rope and fastenings .

Markings are correct according to photos of this vehicle.

Thanks to Nick Allen from IPMS UK Derby model club for the photographs.
