How about FV-105 Sultan command post vehicle and the new CVRT 2? My Brit command group is currently crammed into FV-432 Trojans and rather envious of their US counterparts lounging in their spacious M577s with canvas extensions.

Since you are doing some canvas in tents and trucks, how about the track extension for the M577?

Since you are doing the Wehrmacht '47 series, could you segue into early 50s and give us M-75 and M-59 APCs?

Maybe something really different

I enjoyed reading through this thread!

I like the ideas for more and varied decals. The thread lamenting the loss of the carrier deck decals suggests there is at least a small market for this.

I wonder though if GHQ has reached the point of diminishing returns with their existing lines?

I liked the idea of WWI tanks, it would be nice to see those with GHQ's level of quality. I also would love to buy some popular models (e.g. M4, PzIII, T34) with GHQ quality in different scales, e.g. 10 MM vehicles and 1/4800 ships. While there are already firms in these spaces they do not offer anything comparable to the range and quality of GHQ.

Cold War is coming back! Janes had an article recently that the Russians are reestablishing the 1st Guards Tank army amoung other changes. Time to load up!

The article mentioned T-80U, T-72B3M, and T-90MS. GHQ has the T-80U already. Last summer I converted 30 T-72B3 from two of GHQ's other models. I figure I need a regiment of those now and I don't want to convert 60+ more. So if they will offer a T-72B3M I will be looking to buy

The T-90MS would be nice to have in regimental strength as well. It would be a lot of work to convert from GHQ's other T-90 models. They are also candidates for export and they have a unique look

Vehicles in the Aramata family is a given. I am sure GHQ will put those out as soon as they are fielded

An updated M1A2 and a Polish PT91 would be on my shopping list as well

RAH 66 Comanche

Post by SFCDODGE65 »

Even though it was not put in to production. I would like to see the RAH-66 Comanche. It would also be a great mini for 6mm sci-fi.

I'd like to see some JGSDF units ... GHQ did a good job with a handful of South Korean units, would be nice to see some Type 90s and 10s ... maybe set up a Korea War II
