US Ford GPA Stowage
1:35 #BL35098K
Review by Terry Ashley
Another simple stowage set from Blast Models designed for Tamiya U.S. Ford GPA kit and consists of seven pieces in light cream resin with the quality of the casting again being excellent without any blemishes and only very small pour points and minor seam lines to trim off for easy cleanup.

The detail on the castings is very realistic with well defined details on the folds, bedrolls and equipment with crisp details and nice contours on the seat covers.

There are parts for the interior with the rear bench seat replaced which has some typical GI equipment included as well as the two front seats provided with nice covering texture with the passenger seat having a life jacket draped over the back rest.

The large grouping for the rear deck has a spare tyre and a few tarp rolls included with the upper seat backrest with the seats just replacing the kit parts. An empty jerry can rack is also provided for a bit of variety on the kit.

Conclusion:
Another simple but detailed set with the nicely rendered replacement seats added a little more than just the storage and is another excellent update set.

Highly recommended.
