GHQ Models Forums

You know it's time bring on the small boys of naval warfare in WWII into play. I know, I know, everyone would like to see more of those carriers, battleships, crusiers, destoryers, and support craft of WWII that are still not made, but the war was not always won or lost by the big boys!
Remember the MTB's, MGM's, S-Boats, E-Boats, and MAS Boats slugged it out for control of the Med, the Channel, the North Sea, and the Baltic in Europe. They took on warships, liters, landing craft, barges, freighters, subs, and themselves throughout the conflict. And, then, we are not even counting the various raids they were involved in also.
In the Pacific we need the Japanees landing craft, patrol craft, & MTB's.
Let's face it, we've had the USN PT's for years now (great models by the way) and they served in the Pacific and Europe with great skill and daring.
But, really, it is time to bring in the Allies and Axis craft needed to run the close in shore and open ocean battles that all these craft were involved in.
All the above should be in 1/2400 scale, if you please, with the Japanese Landing Craft and German & Italian Liters, Landing Craft, and Barges also being needed in 1/285 too.
That's my humble suggestion for these badly needed craft and I hope some of you will agree.

I'd like to see PT boats in 1/285 as well as some Japanese barges and landing craft.

E-Boats in 1/285 works for me.

They make the swifties and the pibbers for the Vietnam era, why not do PTs,E boats, barges,etc for WW2 ?
We did an assault landing wargame using a MEU one time. I had a DRAGON 1/350 scale Spru Can and a Tico with hulls set at waterline level and set them in place for near shore NGFS . It didnt look all that out of whack,scale wise, even with 1/285 scale helos.
They (GHQ)could possibly do a small WW2 DD or DDE in 1/285 as well. Probably would be an expensive item though.

I'd be very happy to see LCVP, etc. in 1/285 and a wider variety of amphibs and support ships in 1/2400. In particular I'd like to be able to buy the highly common and most-of-war service LST without having to get an equal number of the rare and limited-service LSM(R).
