1/56 28mm Ford GPA Amphibian Truck Prints

Here is a freshly printed Ford GPA 4x4 amphibian truck. It is in the scale of 1/56 (28mm). After some more work being done on this prototype we will use it to cast resin parts.

A metal US driver from Warlord Game is put into the driver’s seat to provide a size comparison. Note that the left arm of the driver is not fitted. We also tried a Russian woman driver again from WLG and she fits the seat quite nicely. You need to find some resin or metal figures with left arms not extruding too much to fit the figures properly into the cab.

The surf shield is detachable. It can be positioned forward or backward. The wind screen is foldable. We are considering changing the design of the windscreen – to leave just the frame of the windscreen and let players fit clear films to simulate the glass (or Plexiglas) windows. 

In addition, it has the propeller and the rudder as separate parts.
