Great picts !!!

Very good idea GHQ to show us unpainted production castings before you can post the painted model !


I'm very pleased to see that the new jadgpanzer IV is a real new model and not a "redo".
(it seem to be a very beautiful model again !)
I will buy few packs...

Beautiful sherman too, with hull applique armor !
but,
I would have prefered a two hatchs tank commander instead of the one hatch model on the turret,
However, it's once again a very beautiful model. I will buy few packs soon...
Good job GHQ !

I also like the photos of the unpainted models - almost better than the painted. I am glad we are getting Shermans w/Applique armor and will be ordering some very soon

I like the unpainted pics too. Good way to show what should come within each pack.

I am very impressed by this move. Someone at GHQ had their thinking-cap on!

As others have said, these photos are in some ways as interesting as the photos of the painted models. But I just love the pics of the painted models, and I think they are quite valuable for giving prospective customers a "taste" for what GHQ models can look like when well assembled and painted.

Once the painted model pics are available, I wonder if there is a way to stack the un-painted and painted pics for the final catalog entry. I think it would be very powerful to see both.

Now that's what I call CUSTOMER SERVICE! Just goes to show that the guys and gals(?) at GHQ do read all the postings! What a difference some pictures make! So now everyones questions have been answered and sales should now go through the roof! And 20% off over $100 now, what more could you want!
Thanks GHQ!

Thanks GHQ for listening. I'm impressed by the new approach. Of coz, as others suggested, unpainted together with assembled & painted pics will be even better. But I have to admit this is already providing great values to potential customers!

Great idea GHQ. Those look great without paint!

Thank you GHQ the Minotaur and Midway look beautiful and best of all my Wife ordered them for me as a belated Christmas resent. Now I can order a bunch of IJN shis to relace my old LEAD versions.

Great job GHQ looking forward to the Kuma, Shinano, Tower Hill and others and next years releases.

De-lurking for a moment.....

I've been following this forum avidly for years, but am not often in a position to post (plus I usually haven't got much to say...).

I felt this topic is a particularly important one though. I REALLY REALLY like seeing the umpainted figures, because I would much rather see what the product actually IS, rather than what someone else's interpretation of what the paint-job should be.

Some of the paint-jobs are incredible, but some are also fairly shoddy (LAV-25 comes to mind - a fantastic model let down by a fairly "broad-brush" paint-job).

I'm interested in what I'm going to buy and the unpainted picture shows this exactly (and would probably be much faster for GHQ to upload...).

I think the opinions mentioned above about 2 pictures (unpainted & painted) for each product is the way to go, with my preference being for the unpainted.

Please continue this concept.

Cheers

I like that SA-15 as well

I really like the unpainted pictures, especially showing top and side views of the model.

In some ways that's better than the colour pictures.

Nice one GHQ.

Way to go GHQ! I think the new picture idea is brilliant. I know they're probably intended to be stop-gap pictures while the models are being painted up but I add my vote to the list of those that would like to see them stay maybe in addition to the finished models pictures. Thanks again for listening to the customers.
