That ad appears in JTAS 02 as well.

My (scanned) version of JTAS 04 has only 34 pages...

JTAS 05, however, has 40 pages, and p.34 has a veiw from above the stern
looking forward, plus the JG ad, plus a preview of JTAS 06's cover,
which is one of the classic Keith drawings of the 'standard' Scout/Courier.

JTAS was published quarterly, and JTAS 04 was the first of 1980,
suggesting that the JG book was published some time around mid-1979
(depending on whether they placed ads before or after they actually had
the product).
