2022-23 New Release Schedule

[Harlan]

So what is everyone guess on the release date for the next tranche of releases.

[Mortis57]

Not the new releases that are due, but it looks like GHQ are now selling the I-94 range of decals. (https://www.ghqmodels.com/collections/new-releases).

An email from GHQ announcing them says that they are produced by I-94 for GHQ but they look (to me at least) the same as the I-94 decals themselves. Maybe they've been re-sized slightly to better fit the GHQ range(s).

I recently received an email from GHQ including the following: "We are in the process of putting the final touches on our next new release schedule." I hope this gives hope for every fan of GHQ's products.

By the way, I have been deficient in keeping up with my Consolidated Micronaut Wish List but hope to bring this up to date within the next few weeks.

New batch of models is posted now.

All the new Batch #4 releases have photos. USN100 -- VC2-S-AP2, Victory Ship class and GEN28 -- S-100 Type Schnellboot look good. Each pack of GEN28 contains ten boats, so 9 packs will fill my inventory. It will take some time for me to accumulate all 272 of the VC2-S-AP2.

The new Victory ships look fine, but the hull sure does not appear to have a ton of detail - compared to other GHQ ships. The hatch covers are plain and there is virtually no deck detail and no definition on the boats etc. The kingposts/masts/booms do make up for some of the other simplicity

Not a complaint, just an observation. I will be picking up a dozen or so

So how does this new Victory class merchant ship differ from the APA-212 Montrose USN81 model? Do we need two Victory class models? I'm still waiting for a DD Akatsuki class model, or some of the missing British cruiser classes. I'm always happy to see new GHQ WW2 Micronauts, but so many needed combat ships still needed. Hoping for a little break in the merchants being offered in the next year to help fill in the holes of the combat ships still needed.

[Donald M Scheef]

The basic difference is that USN81 has a massive deck load of landing craft. USN100 has clear decks. Also, they have slightly different cargo handling cranes.
I agree that the hull is kind of plain, but that's the way large slab-sided ships look.
I also would like Akatsuki-class destroyers. I will add your vote to the Consolidated Micronaut Wish List. Likewise for any British cruisers you want to specifically identify. My particular favorites are Scylla and Charybdis.

I guess we'll have to wait for Batch #6 to be released before we see the next list of new releases.

Then again last year's list was released rather late.

The new models are up, and they look great! Been itching for the Type 63 light MRL and it's delivered! I'll be getting some soon enough!

Awesome job @GHQ

That Type 63 is a bit good, eh? It's also refreshing to see no vehicle included, as this doesn't tie us to a specific tow.

The RM-70/85 is probably the standout of the lot for me though. Shame I like my artillery off board though!

You could always make yourself a little off board artillery park. It could even be somewhat useful if you use rules that allow for counterbattery fire.
