Panzer Art RE35-243 Sand Armor for “DUKW” 1/35 – Resin Enhancement Set

Panzer Art RE35-243 Sand Armor for “DUKW” in 1/35 scale is a high-quality enhancement set designed for the DUKW amphibious vehicle model – one of the most iconic half-tracked amphibia used during World War II. This precisely crafted set from Panzer Art allows you to bring a whole new level of realism to your model, replicating the distinctive sandbag armor kit used on DUKWs operating in North Africa and Italy.

The original DUKW was developed by the United States and used during World War II from 1942 until the end of the conflict. It was notable for its ability to traverse both water and land obstacles and provided indispensable logistical support during operations such as the Normandy landings and the Sicily amphibious assaults. During operations in the deserts of North Africa, Allied engineers often used additional sandbag armor to protect the crew from small arms fire and shrapnel.
