The 2018-19 New Releases!

[Donald M. Scheef]

The one with which I am familiar is:
"When in trouble
or in doubt
run in circles
scream and shout"

However, this was being used by someone else in the forum.

No, the "something-something" is intentional. Mine is a quotation from Homer Simpson on the occasion of his setting himself on fire. He can remember the entire mnemonic except the important "something, something" part.

By the way; why isn't there an easy way to remember how to spell mnemonic?

It’s nice to see KAMAZ and GAZ-66 tanker trucks on the list of new releases.
However, GAZ-66 was rather more common as oil or water tanker. It was used as fuel tanker in airborne version - soft top cab and low profile tank (great addition to BMD’s).
As a fan of Soviet armor I believe there is a big gap in the Warpac support vehicle list: ZIL-131 3.5t 6x6 trucks, which cover period of late 60’s to modern era. 40% of Soviet Army motorpool during 1980’s. Dozens of versions: from BM-21 launcher to chemical warfare tanker. Over million manufactured. Exported to numerous countries.
Also would love to see:
BMP-2D - Uparmored Version Afghanistan war
BMP-KShM - command post BMP chassis
BRM-1 Recon vehicle on BMP chassis
BMD-2
BMR-1 mine clearing vehicle
2B9 120mm towed automatic mortar
2S5 152mm SP gun
2A36 152mm towed gun
MT-12 100mm AT gun.
KRAZ-255 with revised grit
KRAZ-260
Ural-4320 - replaced Ural-375 in 80’s.
Ural-4320 tanker - most common tanker 70’s - 80’s
PMP pontoon bridge set on KRAZ-255
MAZ-537 w/ChMZAP-9990 trailer - most common tank transporter.
IMR-1 Path clearin vehicle (T-55 chassis) or IMR-2 (T-72 chassis).
Be more than happy to provide info / pictures.
Also WWII:
Revised T-34/85 - spoke wheels, angled front fenders, turret variations.
A-19 122mm towed gun
ML-20 152mm towed howitzer
Thank You!

By NBC vehicles I assume you meant RXM 'Kashalot', correct?

Few others I forgot to post:
UR-77 Line Charge Launcher
2S4 240mm SP mortar

OOPS!

"run in circles, etc." was just supposed to be a joke. Evidently a pretty poor one, as it seems people took it seriously. I'll try & keep my humor to myself in the future.

[Donald M. Scheef]

Mikee,
Don't sweat it. I think most everyone recognized the joke, just like the "something, something" in my tagline.
If you are really worried about this, just add the appropriate emoticon.

"Flossacke 34 Inflatable Assault Boats" picture is online.^^
http://www.ghqmodels.com/store/g594.html

only 3 per pack...

we need a transport model for the road.^^

[BurtWolf]

I tried to search online to find something in terms of a transport for these assault boats, and only found trailer is related to the rigid hull boats and not the inflatable ones. I thought I would try to get bash something, I agree we need transport as well.

I was hoping the figures will be a separate peace, but it looks like they are not. My thought was that the boats could be rather generically employed for other armies as well. That being said, I think it is a wicked cool sculpture.

[Brutzel]

I did not find anything. Maybe you just take an Opel Blitz for transport. The "Flossacke 34" need only be inflated when they are needed. For the "Leichtes Sturmboot 39" there is a truck trailer

[BurtWolf]

Yeah, use opel blitz and then attach a generator trailer to it to run the air pump for the inflatable rafts? Buy a few spare generators from GHQ might be easiest way to do this. I have inquired about buying about a dozen of the new Flakpanzer I ammo trailers but have not heard back yet on the pricing.

[Brutzel]

Customers can reorder any number of parts of models?

[Donald M. Scheef]

Brutzel,
Yes. Look under Military Models, FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). The eighth item is "Do you sell spare parts?"

[Donald M. Scheef]

Some comments on aircraft for GHQ’s UKN56, CVL Argus: From the photo, it appears that six Swordfish and five Spitfires are provided. The Swordfish make sense, since this was the type most often carried in Argus during WWII. The Spitfires are more problematic. I can find only two instances in which the Argus carried Spitfires: In February, 1942 it transported some Spitfires from the UK to Gibraltar. In November, it carried 18 Seafire IIc for the invasion of North Africa. Although this would have required production of a new aircraft type, I think that GHQ should have provided Hawker Hurricanes instead of Spitfires. Hurricanes were carried much more often and would be useful for other applications, such as on catapult-armed merchantmen.

Donald, I would suggest that GHQ query it's forum for suggestions and knowledge about upcoming products that members have suggested or written about in the forum. We all have a variety of resources to help with.

Only 3 Flossacke by blister ??? 11,95$ seems like a mistake too me ! If someone have already order one blister, could you confirm ?
