KY Models Ford GPA

[patmat2350]

What's the word, MRC- gonna offer a Bancroft GPA????

[RichJohnson]

I have searched for this thing and just cannot find it for sale anywhere lol. Heck the only info you can find is this ad on other forums.

[patmat2350]

future release for sure... but the folks at Motion must know...

[patmat2350]

OK it's out and available... I even received mine from MotionRC.
Now the product page:

https://www.motionrc.com/products/torro-ford-gpa-1-16-scale-amphibious-vehicle-rtr-tor59001?variant=42447050571961

...says: "Visit the Official Torro Ford GPA 1/16 Scale Amphibious Vehicle Discussion Thread on HobbySquawk.com for additional photos, videos, reviews, and customer Q&A."
But I don't see that thread anywhere?

[patmat2350]

And a question- Where are the three figures that I see in the Torro ads? NOT in my GPA, that's where.
Where do we get them?

[tank_me]

I got two figures with my Torro M16 Half-track so one of them went in my GPA and the other is driving the M16. I would like to find some figures for both, but I haven't found any suitable ones yet either.

Rich, MRC does indeed have them, apparently in stock. Will you get one? If you do, start a thread. I too am interested!

[RichJohnson]

I got one quite a while ago Bob. I’ve posted photos on my Ig of it in the pond at the Desert Training Center.
quite happy with it, Nicely detailed and quite accurate from what I remember when I drove one.
it has a neat water sensor on the side so the prop will not turn unless it’s wet and it does move around quite well in the water. It’s got a tiny lipo battery and the boat is slightly off list in the water but added weight can solve it also you can use a figure off eBay that are knock off of the Torro m16 half track figures.

Oops, didn’t see the date on your post!

Rich, you don't happen to have a link to those figures do you?

[RichJohnson]

Well here is the link to one of them still on my ebay page but hahahaha you can forget about it Hes in the Russian Federation and it says seller is away until December 2030 LOL and it now says does not ship to United States.
He was the only one copying the Torro truck drivers so sadly none are available to my knowledge unless you just keep scouring ebay and find some. Im glad I got mine when I did a couple years ago. I bought a ton of figures from two guys and spent about 400 bucks. I had to populate all my shermans on the shelf. I havent even finished painting alot of them.

Thanks. I went out searching again on Ebay tonight and didn't come up with anything viable except maybe some 1/18 WW2 posable figures.

OK I asked MRC where's the GPA thread?? And they said this is the one (which is not one of their Official dedicated threads at all):
