Ford GPA – a brief history:
The Ford GPA was an amphibian constructed for the United States Army during World War II. It entered service between 1942 and 1945 and was mainly used in amphibious operations, as well as in crossing water obstacles in Europe and the Pacific. The vehicles were utilized by the US Army, the USSR (supplied under Lend-Lease), and other Allies. The amphibious “Jeep” actively supported troops during the Normandy landings and on the Eastern Front.

• Precisely reproduced details of grilles, handles, hinges, and small body elements.
• Components resistant to damage and easy to assemble thanks to precise etching from brass.
• The set includes, among others, radiator protection grilles, lock and latch details, handles, brackets, and small parts not present in the basic Tamiya model.
