GHQ Models Forums

Hey there! It's been a while since I posted here, and I'm on a mission to build Taffy 3. I have found that they have the Destroyer and Destroyer escort types, but I can't find any escort carriers here. And I'm wondering if anyone has any idea of where I can find some?

Have you looked in the catalogue under CVL "escort carriers"...?

It sounds like you are looking for GHQ catalog number USN-62, CVE-73 USS Gambier Bay. This covers all six of the Taffy 3 carriers:
Gambier Bay
Fanshaw Bay
White Plains
Kalinin Bay
Kitkun Bay
St. Lo

Please post again if you need to track anything else down.

GHQ does not have a separate listing for 'escort carriers.' You will find the appropriate model under US WWII Micronauts - Capital Ships.

All six CVEs in Taffy 3 are Casablanca class. GHQ USN62 is Gambier Bay (CVE-73), which was one of the six. Get six of this model and you will have exactly what you need.

Don't forget the escorts...

Taffy 3's escort was composed of three Fletcher class fleet destroyers...the Hoel, the Heerman and the Johnston...and four 1400 ton destroyer escorts...the Dennis, the John C. Butler, and the Samuel B. Roberts...all of the more heavily armed "WGT" group.

For the three Fletcher calss destroyers, you'll want a pack of the GHQ Square Bridged Fletchers (USN 11), and for the Destroyer escorts, you'll want four GHQ models of the DE Butler class (USN 46).

Hope this helps.

I already have Taffy 3, I need to get Center Force.
