They even do 1/35 scale bread too. 

And it's REAL bread as well!

Interesting, I wasn't aware that there were still DUKWs in use anywhere.

As for the bread, that can easily be made in any kitchen.  I'd be worried about the mice deciding to raid the diorama though!

Not military use, admittedly, but check this out: http://www.ridetheducksofseattle.com/history.htm

There's a few DUKWs used on beaches in the UK and there's a veritable fleet of them operating at a place called Wisconsin Dells in the USA. I rode one up and down dale and into and out of the Wisconsin River a few years back, terrific fun.

Boston Duck tours have a sizeable fleet, about twenty.  This one was taken when I holidayed in Boston a few years back, the picture was taken from another DUKW that I was touring in.

There were, until they were grounded (??beached??) several running tours in Liverpool docks.  One sank recently with a party of tourists aboard........no one killed...... many people soaked....The BBC  news website had the details.

The London DUKW tours are still going as far as I know

The London Duck Tours may not be going for much longer...http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-24323395

I wonder if anyone named their DUKW Count Duckula?

Given the current DUKW problems,  can we expect to see  STALWARTOURS in the near future?

[Captain Canada]

That's really too bad....there's just something so cool about WWII amphibs still working....and us getting a chance to ride on one ! They use Vietrnam era boats in Halifax as well.
