GHQ just posted them a bit ago.

Gneisenau looks good, as does the "Starship"!

Two releases for the NORKs also look nice (and dated, as is appropriate).

Nice to see that the Zumwalt includes Fire Scout RPVs and both open and closed gun turrets.

I don't see them listed. Operator error on my part? Perhaps my head space and timing is off?

Go to the link and hit "F5" (or right click and choose "Refresh").

You may be looking at the cached version.

Brutzel, it probably has to do with the weight of the pewter.

More on the A2... The earlier model was better proportioned. On this one, the main gun barrel is too thick and stubby and the cupola is a bit big. I would have preferred the top-loading air cleaners. The bore evacuator could have been eliminated to make an easier and cleaner sculpt. The bore evacuator proved ineffective. The vents were welded shut when the closed breech scavenger system was installed on existing vehicles and simply done away with on later builds, hence the two different kinds of barrel. Looking forward to seeing the actual model. These vehicles were issued in Germany painted the black-green OD and then painted by the units using variations on MERDC. You can find pics and patterns on the internet searching on things like USAREUR MERDC camouflage. Good examples just posted in the "show us yer stuff" thread on this forum.

Is there a new style canvas extension for the M577. The one depicted is too short for the one I am familiar with by about 1/3.

Have to be honest. I'm really disappointed in the M577 track extension model. I think I will stick to the original without it. It appears to me the prototype used was a 15mm model pic posted on the internet and I have never seen a real one like that model.. It is too easy to find pics of the real ones.

Yep, total miss on the M577. They literally copied the FOW 15mm model. Not good.

Thank you GHQ, they all look absolutely brilliant.
Not much on my to buy list this Month but stunning all the same.

The DPRK issues I think will do very well.

Well, my wallet is already sobbing from the beating it took...

Those North Korean models have been on my "hanging out to buy" list from the moment I saw them on the release schedule and I certainly have not been disappointed! Bravo on the models!

The choice to use the basic Sinhung is a pretty smart move, I hope in the future we will see the versions fitted with the AT-3 above the guns... hmmm... might even just mod that myself using the Cold War heavy weapons pack!

Anyway, the Sinhung will be an excellent addition and I already have a few ideas for making the M1992 self-propelled gun/howitzer complex! The spare twin-gun turret could be attached to some BTR-80 models so I can make the North Korean M-2010 8x8 APC... the BTR-80 turret can go on some technicals that I just brought as part of a 'not-ISIS' group... so many options!

The Songun-Ho tank is absolutely stunning as well! Very well made and I am sure the 14.5mm machine gun will become a much sought after extra bit of gear to buy!

I hope to see the ATGM and SAM attachments in the future as well, that'd be great :)

Buffalo is a good addition and well done.

GHQ are you doing another new item customer-voting round this coming year?
