FORD GPA Amphibious Jeep

By Faustnik - jmqtv(at)iol.pt

Manufacturer: AL.BY Miniatures (Kit #719)

Contents:

- 20 Parts moulded in yellow Resin of high Quality

- Packed in a transparent box, typical of AL.BY offerings.

- No decals, Assembly instructions or painting information

Evaluation:

High quality of castings and details, as any resin kit, some cleaning of the parts is needed. This is one of the first kits of AL.BY, so many of the parts are showing their age, even so this is a good kit. In the specimen shown there were some air bubbles, but no warping of parts is visible.

Overall:

An excellent choice of subject, as this vehicle could be used almost from 1942 till today, in several colours and users, as this little vehicle was used by almost all nations with some agreement by the USA. As a fast rule, during WW2, this could be use by USSR, Free French.

As far as scale is concern, using the available data the overall dimensions are exactly at 1:72.

Many thanks to Filipe CUNHA, which lend his "in construction" kit.

Highly Recommended
