1942 Ford GPW

7.0 years ago
The GPW or jeep, was used widely in WW2 by the US Army. It was used for troop transport, recon missions, and front line battles. I will be making more of these for different things, like mounting a gun to the back of the jeep, and adding a new body with more equipment. I didnt do this alone, I borrowed the design from someone else but built the ragtop cover, gas can attached to the back, and the helmet and gun in the front seat. Wish you all a merry Christmas with 25 days to go!

Hey everyone, futher testing showed me a problem with the car doing a wheelie when you accelerate. Troubleshooting the problem I found a uneven weight distribution in the back, to solve go to the ammo crates in the back and reduce each ones weight. Each one is about 1000lbs-1500lbs.
I like
@BogdanX I know and if you read the description I tried to give them Credit but did not know the Name of the person OR the aircraft. I had gotten this design about 2 months ago and took the car off as a sub assembly and deleted the Helicopter. But thank you for letting me know who built it, and what the name of the helicopter is. As an editor of airplanes, (because I am not good at making my own and they look like crap) I will try to give every author his/her credit if the original build.
