GHQ Models Forums

My sincere thanks for your encouraging words, gentlemen!
I'm continuing with my projects, and this one is well advanced, but also somewhat far from completion : my first self*made Halsey (Sam Mustafa's Nimitz extension) scenario.

Let's start with an unlucky, but gallant and glorious ship, USS Houston, the Galloping Ghost of the Java Sea

HNMS De Ruyter, its companion of misfortune and Karel Doorman's flagship

Lastly, HNMS Java, which shared the unhappy fate of her compatriot :











Now, I have a question, I need some advice : I read that you can order spares from GHQ. I had a problem when I straightened the guns USS Missouri's after turret, a gun broke. I tried a fix with some evergreen, but I'm not taht happy with the result : it will show from the distance I'm used to photograph my models. So, is it possible to order spares from out of the USA (from the EU in my case)? And f so, how do i do? Thanks in advance.

Great look ships Foxbat, as usual! The smaller the ship the more impressed I am with the painting and detail work!

When I have ordered spare parts in the past I called GHQ directly by phone and explained what I needed. I once tried to order MG sprus by adding a comment to a normal order, but that didn't go anywhere. I would imagine that as long as you call during their normal business hours in Minnesota you can have spares shipped to the EU without any problems.

I don't have any WW2 battleships, but I have some spare turrets from my modern Iowa class battleships. No AA guns or anything on them, but would these work? I can just send these to you in the mail if you want them.

Redleg, this is most kind of you. They'd be better than my jury repair...



If I really cannot manage to get a replacement from GHQ, may I get back to you and take your offer?
Warmest regards.

Absolutely! Just let me know if you want them and they are yours!

Hi Foxbat

GHQ is very good about spare parts. Just let them know what you need.

I also wanted to say, great work on the De Ruyter and Java, Foxbat. I think I have the De Ruyter in my unpainted stash somewhere.

Thanks Gentlemen.

Pete, does it mean all I need top do is require a replacement part when I place my next order?

Hi Foxbat

GHQ has a price list for their various parts. I am not sure what the going rate is these days. You can ask for a main turret for the Missouri or whatever else you might want. There is a charge for that. I do occasionally buy extra hulls and turrets for some of my tanks.

If you have a part that is either damaged as cast or broken or missing you can ask for a replacement. That should be no charge to you.

Thanks, I just sent an inquiry message using the contact GHQ form, waiting for the reply. I'll post the news about it.

Some more completed models

HMS Duke of York. She's painted in the scheme she was wearing at North Cape inb December 43 when she sank the Scharnhorst

And Shiratsuyu class IJN DDs... you never have enough Japanese (or USN, or RN ) DDs for that matter

Beautiful ships Foxbat!

That are excellent looking ships and a great AAR! Thanks, Foxbat!
