While avoiding the prospect of doing more work on the dreadful Airfix Lancaster I decided to add to the appropriate spares boxes a small accumulation of bits which had gathered over the past few weeks. Actually quite a few of these had originally been attached (and none too securely) the the Lanc...
The recent discovery in another box of a DUKW windscreen reminded me that I had most of a DUKW in the spares box so it seemed reasonable to glue the whole lot together. Happily the DUKW isn't a kit which requires an instruction sheet as I didn't have such a thing to hand. Or maybe I've just built rather a lot of them.
Anyway here it is. Once I reclaim my spray painting studio (garage) from the builders I might even paint it.

...Aside from that, an interesting vehicle. I have it in that Airfix D-Day 60th anniversary box I found. I wonder what conversions there were? Were there ever any armed versions?

And pretty well a full set here: http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/forum280.php
Thanks for the kind thought, but the DUKW is pretty easy. If on the other hand I were to randomly fins in the spares box a 1/24 scale Spitfire....
I see you are using masking tape to hold it together while it dries.
Shouldn't you be using DUKW tape?

I realy must come and see your stage act sometime!
You kind of have to, you're my straight man.

I really must pull finger and get a DUKW or four.
Any real issues in the build that one needs to know about.

It's about time you broke your duck by building one! It's a stunningly easy kit to build - even without the instructions.....
My DUKWs are the 'even easier to build' Airfix bendy toys version and the Dinky toys diecast with hot wheels. No assembly required at all:)
Ohhh - 'DUKW Tape', that's foul! :)
Good job!!

Just don't try to float the Dinky one in your bath...
