    Thanks my friends @davids_models and @gblair!

    Fit was good, especially taking into account how elderly the kit is.

    Here is the DUKW, in the middle of the weathering process: some rust and black wash applied:

    Next some pastels dirtying to follow and onto final coat.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    I was ready to apply the final mattish coat by hand, but I chickened and restrained myself from doing so...
    Airbushed it shall then be, hopefully tomorrow, my two little monkeys, errrrrr, sorry, little boys, permitting!

    Monkeys come first, Spiros (@fiveten). Your DUKW needs some mud and dirt...it looks too new. :o) Talk about elderly, Scalemates says this kit dates back to 1966. I was in high school in 1966. I guess that make me elderly.

    Thanks my friend @gblair : I might walk the extra weathering mile! You can never weather a DUKW too much!
    I was born in 1966, which doesn't make particularly young either!

    Great build of this tiny 'boat', Spiros @fiveten.
    Quite some detail for such a small model.
    Good to see that the seventh wheel is mounted as well 😉 .
