UPDATE OF OLDER MODELS

[ROGER_HOUSTON2EMC-ENG.COM]

I'd start with the flimsy barrels,PT-76 generallly better details needy)

M-113 TOW (or the M-150) (just a really bad unrealistic looking vehicle. If nothing else, replace the thing that currently is in the packet to represent the TOW launcher with the TOW launcher from the new M-151 jeep TOW launcher)

AH-1Q Cobra (That version was onlly a stop gap between the G Model from Vietnam and the final F model that retired in 2000. It is pretty easy to kitbash a G model from a Q model for Vietnam, but kinda difficult to make the F model from the G model for ODS,Fulda Gap, etc).

M-923 5 TON TRUCK( I probably sound like a broken record, but the GHQ model is not an accurate representation of this truck. It is an amorphing of the M-900 series truck and the M-800 series truck .)

M-114 c&r - (I know.....it was a piece of crap when it was fielded, but there's no reason why it has to be molded that way. )

M-163 Vulcan ADA (Needs a redo, bad)

Chieftain MBT - (Another model that is very tired and would look great with the Stillbrew
armor )

I do agree with the JS III. A new model of this tank is warranted for the reasons you describe.
I don't really agree with the assessment of the Churchill III as I think the model is not that old and looks as good to my eyes as the other Churchill based tanks that GHQ makes. THese were done in the 80's and 90's and are up the later high standards that GHQ has achieved.

I am working on the new edition of the Universal Carrier and I can honestly say that it is a considerable improvement over the older one that it replaced. I do have both and was able to compare them side by side.

I would like to see a couple of other vehicles done over.

1. T-62. This one is definitely showing its age and needs an update like the BMP-1 that was released last year. I painted the new BMP-1 for the catalog and it is a great improvement over the older model.

2. Kubelwagen. The current version is not too bad but a new one would have a lot crisper details.

3. German 37mm AT gun and 75mm infantry gun.

4. T-60. The current one is not too bad but a newer one would be even better.

5. BRDM series. I believe these came out in the 70's and could use a crisper model.

6. German 105mm Howitzer. A new one would bring this more in line with the 150mm Howitzer.

7. WWII Jeep.

8. U.S. WWII 155 Howitzer. A new model would look much crisper in detail.

That is my list for now. I may have a few more to add later.

I would like to see the IJN Kuma redone to the appropriate dimension

In regards to updating some models, I would rather GHQ choose carefully. I say that with this thought in mind that significant amount of capital is utilized to create a model, thus I expect some capital to revitalize a figure. In the case of the M114, the one that is currently on the market is suitable to me. As for the M113C&R, there is a product in the market place by a competitor that offer that for Canada and for the Netherlands. I would rather GHQ produce a new model that we do not have at all or at least a model that rates high to very high.

An example of a new product would be CV90. There are others that others have requested and desire to see produced. I would buy a bunch of the CV90 vs perhaps none of the M113C&R. I have some BTR -152from a competitor whose quality is nothing compared to GHQ, but I will use the older competitors model vs spending $150 to get the upgrade. I do not use the BTR 152 much at all. Similar thought with EE-9 and EE-11(which I have about 50-60 of each), and some other items.

My vote (not that that matters) is to expand the line with some great figures.

It would be nice to see some of the older models get redone, but at the same time as well, increase the line with new models.
Some of the older ones that I would like too see have already been mention:
T-62,
Germany WWII
-37mm ATG and 75mm infantry gun
-Heavy weapons blister- these all in one stands are terrible.

British WWII
- Heavy weapons blister- much like the German blister listed above

One new model that I would purchase would be the LAV III.

Just realized what a screwed up sentence I created for my redo list .
I meant to say that the PT-76 was a prime candidate for redo due to a flimsy barrell and poor detailing on the chassis
Also, the old M109 (not the Paladin) howitzer needs to be revamped. The pack comes with both the AO turret and the long tube turret. Its a bit confusing here because it is molded as an A2/A3 turret with the sight housing , but has an A1 bustle. The AO version still looks pretty good. My suggestion is to redo the A2 turret and sell the A0 and A2 versions in separate packs. The chassis is the same for both.

I would have to agree with the JS3 that model is well over 29years old ,would like to see all of the old WW ll Models replace. Later Comrades Ivan

I would request that the swords on the 10mm Napoleonic French Cuirassiers and Dragoons be make thicker, like on the French Chassuers A Cheval. The swords currently on the cavalry are so flimsy that they really are not usable. I don't have alot of time to convert these and at $17.95 a pack I should not have to. I love the rest of the Napolenoic stuff. Just a freindly suggestion.

M-60AVLB: after-all the new PZIV Bridgelayer has a deployed bridge. Why not the M-60?
