Ford GPA from Torro
Ford GPA from Torro
Good Morning,
Our model family has grown.
One Torro Ford GPA each for my wife and me....
There was also a crew for each:
Before painting there was still some work to do.
- Dismantle as far as possible
- Remove burrs and residues from injection moulding
- Making the drive for the propeller run smoothly (there was no backlash)
- Bridging water contact
- and many other small things
After that I could start with the airbrush.
For this I used the Olive Drab paint set from Ammo of Mig:
At the same time I painted the figures in the evening.
And this is how the two GPAs with crew look like painted:
The decals are difficult to work with, they crumble as soon as they get wet... I've never had that before.
I want to apply the big stars with the airbrush and stencil.
Now the weathering is missing and then the two are fit for the season.

Nice, now if we could only get them do do a standard jeep, I'd be happy. At least now I can get some halftrack riders.
