DUKW in 1/72 scale

Name
DUKW /No. 7022/

Producer
Italeri, Italy

Packing
Relatively big cardboard box with a nice picture on the top

Type of kit
Plastic kit of U.S. amphibious car from WWII

Quality

It's one of first two really Italeri 1/72 AFV kits and producer started with high level quality. Parts from dark green styrene are perfectly injected without flash and another defects. Details are very fine, kit contains lot of accessories too. The cargo compartment is open without tarpaulin. The only detail that’s strange to me are inner side of wheels. I haven't found any reference photo of this part to to be sure but I suppose it's incorrectly „hollow“ made. The specific part added in new Italeri are simplified wheels for fans of wargames.

Instruction sheet
Classical Italeri instructions, well-arranged and suitable for beginners, too.

Decals
Quality decals for 4 versions : british vehicle from Normandy 1944, twice U.S.Army from Germany 1945 and three-colour vehicle U.S.Marine Corps from IwoJima 1945.

General impression
The old DUKW kit from Airfax wasn’t bad (it’s meaning in its era) but it is absolutely unmatched with this newie. Warmly recommended!
