And even one reference photo that includes the famous Life Magazine and wartime photographer Margaret Bourke-White!

As a further upgrade for the GPA (as said earlier;) the relatively recent offering from Tasca of US gas and water cans are EXCELLENT! Correct embossed lettering - even under the handles, correct and very delicate three bar carry handles also seperate gas and water lids/caps.

Thanks for the suggestion, but doing a GPA and giving it the "Full Monty" treatment will have to wait for me. This was just a quick and simple OOTB to support my local AMPS club with one of their group builds. This build-up has satisfied the object of that exercise.

Hopefully one day someone (like Bronco, Miniart, etc) will give us a 21st Century kit of this worthy subject. If and when that happens, I might give the Ford GPA another chance on the workbench adding all the bells and whistles.

The reference photos you've been posting up are very nice and will certainly come in handy.

Cheers!

I forgot about this thread till I got my E.T.Model Jeep weighted road wheels that was mentioned earlier. Not to sure what to say about them, got them on E Bay from China. Two of the wheels got a bad pour on the resin, have to be very careful with them or the hole center of the rim will pop out. I take it they are made to be used on the Dragon Jeep but with a little careful drilling can be used on Tamiya.
I'm glad I remembered this thread. Nice build's Mike R and Mike K impressive looking GPA's It would be interesting to see what Bronco could do with the GPA.
Missed the Tasca US gas and water cans in the news and the review sections. Got to get some of those.
