Finally got the ring on the DUKW

RDUKW · Dec 23, 2011

I thought I would share some pictures of my latest project on the DUKW. I finally got the ring mount painted and on and a bonus it fits in the garage with 1/8 of an inch clearance.

It may be a little while before that gets seen. It's a little bigger project.

Unfortunately that's not my DUKW or howitzer. That DUKW is at the mechanized museum on camp Penelton. Although the 105 is on my Christmas list

from what I read, the 105 in the back of a DUKW did not work out very well, the idea was support coming on the beach before getting to the beach, firing the 105 from a swimming DUKW, seems things DID NOT work as planed, a swimming DUKW didn't make a very good platform for a firing 105

All I need now is help finding a couple of early style ammo trays for the M36 with the metal side clips on the ends and the Ring will be complete.
