Thank you for looking,
GHQ

Thank you GHQ for the WW2 DD Akatsuki class!!!

I have been waiting for this day for this release. Thank you! I hope it will be one of the first releases.....please!

Hopefully GHQ goes with a 4 count package, for them, since from what I know, there
were only the I.J.N. Akatsuki, Hibiki, Ikazuchi & Inadzuma in the class. Would make sense,
even if the cost is more, as then we won't have to figure out what to do with 2 extra hulls,
if sold in the traditional 3 count blister packages.

Thank you GHQ, I think the list has a little bit for everyone

Thanks for the Stridsvagen 122 and the two Patria Pasi XA-180 variants, it's really appreciated by us Nordic Neutral (or used to be...) types.

Much appreciated.

Thanks GHQ, I would agree, a little for everyone. There are 1 or 2 things that I would pick up.

I don't think the T-72 w/ KMT-7 Mine roller was in the original announcement? Anything else you can spot?

I’m surprised none of my modern Canadian Picks when never taken.

Hi guys !
About WWII new release :
I'm very happy for the Russian artillery tractor and for the Japanese amphibious truck, they're very interesting models and, as far as the Russian tractor is concerned, it's a model that I have been waiting for a long time: we will finally be able to have an artillery tractor for the Russian 203mm howitzer and a recovery machine (Russian/German) in addition to the Stalinetz tractor.
The Japanese amphibious truck is also an original model, it was a very good material used from the beginning of 1944 (Salomon islands and Gilbert) until the end of the war. I don't know how many were actually used in operation but I think I'll probably take one pack or two.
I'm a little disappointed that there is no LVT Polsten waterline, a new small english truck (radio shelter or water-tank), a staff car, an ambulance truck 15cwt or Churchill tank AVRE SBG for exemple. I hope it will be for the next few years.

I'm a little disappointed too that there is still no US 5ton truck for Vietnam : a truck version without tarpaulin, a semi-trailer truck version and a semi-trailer tanker version, this is really missing to play the convoys on the roads of South Vietnam. This is the only big missing in GHQ Vietnam line of US materials used during Vietnam war

The two small boats (the English and the American) are original.
The English support boat, which will undoubtedly be based on the LCA, is an interesting model. I'll be able to take some eventually (I have to find out about the number of boats of this type engaged for the Normandy landings or for Walcheren landing in October/November 1944).
The American boat is, I believe, more appropriate for the first amphibious operations in the Pacific before 1943 so I don't think to take it because I only play 1943-45.

I hope everyone will have models that suit them in this list of new products.
Thank you very much GHQ for continuing to offer us new quality models every year.

Pibber when are you going to post more photos? Your Vietnam work is pretty spectacular!

Pibber, with you on that 5-ton w/trailer.

redleg :
Thank you very much for your comment I have several new models in progress for Vietnam, but they aren't yet finished and presentable , which is why I'm delaying presenting them. (I have other 2-1/2 gun trucks currently being manufactured in scratch, an ATC program V project in scratch based on the GHQ ATC program IV, US aircraft currently being painted, and other larger boats ( !) for the riverine force, Vietnamese town buildings/flats/houses, bridges, junks, large US forces camp with around fifteen-twenty US GHQ barracks, close defenses around it, landing strips for various helicopters...,...). It takes a lot of work and time.
And for the moment, to take my mind off things a little, I'm doing a bit of WWII : german K5-E railway gun and its circular firing platform, V2 battery and end-of-war 1945 kamfgruppe with Sperber and UHU equipment... A lot of work. Photos will come little by little.
