The Indispensable Logistical Duck

The DUKW vehicle was based on the standard GMC two-and-a-half-ton truck, whose chassis engineers enveloped in a watertight hull. This amphibian played an absolutely crucial role in Allied landing operations, including D-Day in Normandy and across the Pacific theater. It could transport ammunition, supplies, and troops directly from transport ships in open water to the mainland without the need for port unloading, making it an invaluable logistical asset. Through the Lend-Lease program, these amphibious machines also entered the arsenal of the Soviet army.

Collectible Die-Cast in Various Scales

Fans of Allied support equipment will find exactly what they need in this category. We offer an affordable model from the Altaya brand in the compact 1:72 scale, intriguingly depicting a machine in the colors of the Soviet army. For more demanding collectors and lovers of larger formats, an impressive GMC DUKW 2.5-Ton Amphibian model in 1:43 scale is available from the renowned manufacturer Motor City Classics. The combination of heavy metal and plastic elements ensures excellent shape fidelity, durability, and precise rendering of deck details for both versions.
