Lovely, the Seep! I understand from a chap who drove one that they did.... seep, quite a bit if the water was rough.

Post war the Soviets made a near copy, the GAZ 46, so its use extends well beyond 1945. Handy item.

This stuff was used by free French recce patrols to cross the rivers in 1944 in France ( French maquis and Germans had destroyed so many bridges ) ... i doubt of the use of this stuff as a boat ...

Indeed... the human mind might try and blank out IJ&TCS, but

I'm guessing this is a Seep pretending to be a GAZ-46

For anyone who hasn't seen our GPA resin kit, the windshield was modified and more details were added. In the kit there is a piece of clear plastic sheet you can use to simulate windows.
