Marine Amphib DUKW

Better known as the "DUCK". [8D]

[Bill Durrant]

Yes a DUKW... and if you're ever in london you can go on one - Green is Duck Tours, Yellow is Frog Tours.

Converted DUKWs that do the sights on the road then drive into the River Thames and do the sights from the water. Classic[:D]

[hithere]

darn!!! I finally knew one....(well..i knew the Sherman one too)

[mccavage]

I think it is the Soviet version of a DUKW.

Just doesn't look right for the US version.

[Rendova]

I don't think its a DUKW.... A DUKW was built on the 2 1/2 ton truck ("Duce and a half") Which were all duel rear axle IIRC, this is single. Also I have never seen a DUKW with door and an actual Winshield... Maybe it is a DUKW but my guess is its a DUKW knock off.

Although the hull sure looks like a DUKW maybe it is.....

[andytimtim]

im not quite sure, but wasn't a 'vamped' up DUKW used in the faulklands?

[hithere]

actually...now that you mention it....it does not look quite right...

[Bill Durrant]

You know I think you're right. DUKW had double rear axle. IIRC first used March 1943 at landing of Noumea

[hithere]

looking at it..the front tire looks too far forward...it really is beginning to look like a boat on a trailer...hhmmm

[SantaClawz]

It is the Toyota "SuKi" amphibious vehicle.

[jrcar]

Yup I think so too, definately Japanese.

In Philadelphia they're immitating Boston and have those irritating "Duck" tours. Nothing like taking a nap and having the duck drive by with the slack-jawed tourist using their quacking duck call noise makers they give them..... *shakes angry fist*
