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.

    @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.
