There isn't much to say really it's a nice kits and builds well.
Be careful with the cargo area vertical walls and generally with all assemblies,
it goes OK but dry fitting (and a bit of tape to help gluing) helps.
There are few sinkholes. The only real problem I had was fitting the rear
transfer case assembly, but this area is hidden unless you display an overturned
model...
Other than that it depends if you want to accurize your model or depict a
specific configuration. I opened up the side grilles and replaced them with
photoetch also replaced the horizontal grille (oversize) behind the drivers
compartment.
Personally I'm waiting for an Eduard set before I start my second DUKW.
Blast Models make a nice tarp and also an MG position and some parts.
Azimut have some update sets but I wouldn't recommends the wheels and tarps.
Cromwell have a very nice tarp.
Cheers,
Christophe
