DUKW info

[maker1966]

Could anyone guide me on the best place to get good quality drawings for a DUKW that are good enough too up scale to 1/6th without too many errors. Would it be feasible to scale up some 1/35 drawings from kit and be good enough ? I have the ability to measure a mostly complete one locally, although the condition is poor for most original equipment.
Just an added note, could any answers also include pay for place too..

OK, first off, love your taste. The DukW is great.
Second, if you look up "DUKW blueprints" on Google some will come up. I have found multiple, some even with detailed measurements. If you need any more help, you can PM me.

Hi,

The problem is that most of the blueprints I've found online are wrong, they have the top and bottom edges of the hull parallel while the hull should have a wedge shape. Even the Italeri kit is wrong, but the very old 1/76 airfix kit is correct!

I saw a guy (who wanted to model one) asking on a board of guys having real DUKW if the top and bottom was parallel or not. A guy who owned a real dukw replied they were parallel then he checked his own DUKW and replied back it was not

I studied a real DUKW a'd I can assure you it's a wedge shape. It's pretty hard to see on Pic because of lense distorsion and perspective.
I built mine with a wedge shape and if I look at pictures of it, the top and bottom look parallel...

Even the square profiles on the side of the hull are not parallel to each other...
