Loading one of the DUKWS

Loading one of the DUKWS
Updated from my original posting and originally on F..r. I'd been copying some old slides. For many years, the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) used WWII amphibious army vehicles known as DUKWS as cargo lighters. Here one is being loaded on the Nella Dan.

Richard, I'm away from home now, but when I get back I'll see what other photos of DUKWs I can find. Where did you find a 1/35 model? The only one I knew was the old Airfix.

How many tons does that weigh ? It looks massive.

They were fairly large, but as they were essentially amphibious barges, they needed the bulk of a boat. The actual weight was only about 2.5 tons.
