No offense intended. Looking for figures that could represent both.

You already have the West Germans. If you look at the figures for 3rd World Regulars they are Cold War West Germans.

I like the idea of the mirage F1 (You have it listed twice) and European civilians.

The cars can be obtained but GHQ has addressed difficulty in doing a set of different vehicles and the quantity needed at $9.95 would pull from military models. You can get them from other sources.

At the risk of beating a dead horse I still want to see pro western Bush warriors. Same set as current Bush Warriors but with FN FAL's and Belgian LMG's Blow Pipe instead of RPG etc. This set would provide infantry for all brush wars 60's thru early 90's. Including Central and South America. hint hint hint. They can also be painted up for French Foreign Legion, British Para’s and Marines (for Falklands). They can also stand in for African mercenaries and Rhodesian and South African.

If you haven’t noticed from my posts I really want this set added. (I’m still not through buying the current set of 3rd world warriors for my Cuban Army Units: Think Grenada)

The last infantry pack I would like to see early next year are: US LRPS. With US weapons and Boonie hats. This would give not only LRPS for Vietnam but Special Forces 60’s thru early 90’s. Again Central America- SEALS, Army Special Forces, Rangers, Marine Recon and ANGLICO.

Please GHQ Infantry this year!
I pray for Peace on Earth Good will toward men. Till then one round HE fire for Effect!

My primary interest is Micronauts. I am attaching my most-wanted dozen and a list of ships at Jutland and not yet modeled by GHQ. I also think it would be a good idea for GHQ to continue expanding their Great War series of ships to Italy and Austria-Hungry. Someone else needs to add WWII Microarmor, Napoleonics, American Civil War lists.

Ships at Battle of Jutland (1916-05-31) and not yet modeled by GHQ:

British battleship Neptune (similar to Colossus class – GWB02 – except for position of foremast)
British armored cruiser Devonshire class (1)
British light cruisers Cambrian & Calliope classes (5)
British light cruisers Caroline class (5)
British light cruisers Birkenhead class (2)
British light cruisers Birmingham class (2)
British light cruisers Chatham class (2)
British light cruisers Active class (2)
British light cruiser Blonde class
British light cruisers Boadicea class (2)
British destroyer leaders Faulknor class (3)
British destroyer leader Marksman class (1)
British destroyers Acasta (Admiralty K) class (15)
British destroyer S class (1)
British destroyers Laforey class (4)
British destroyers Talisman class (2)

German rigid airship (Zeppelin) LZ41 (please note: airship)
German (pre-Dreadnought) battleship Braunschweig
German light cruisers Konigsberg class (2)
German light cruiser Gazelle class (1)
German light cruiser Karlsruhe class (1)
German destroyers G101 class (4)
German destroyers G85 class (3)
German destroyers V25 class (5)
German destroyers S13, G7, and V1 classes (19)

British auxiliary ships nominally “atâ€￾ Jutland:
• seaplane carrier Engadine
• minelayer Abdiel
• destroyer tender Oak


• WWII Germany T-1939 class (T-22 through T-36 torpedo boats) - No one makes a 1/2400 metal model of this class, which was widely active during the war. With a significant number of ships in the class, many collectors & gamers would buy several packs. GHQ models of the T-1923, T-1924, T-1935, and T-1937 torpedo boats would also be welcome, even though CinC already makes reasonable models of these classes.

• WWII Italy heavy cruiser Pola - This ship differed from all the other Italian heavy cruisers in its combination of hull and superstructure. No one makes a 1/2400 model in metal.

• WWII Japan destroyer Akatsuki class: Although generally similar to the Fubuki class, the Akatsukis were shorter, with smaller forward funnels, and had several other detail differences. To the best of my knowledge, no one makes a 1/2400 model of this class. Considering the popularity of Japanese WWII ships, it surprises me that GHQ has not modeled this class.

• WWII Japan torpedo boats Otori class – Although Viking Forge makes a 1/2400 model of this class, its quality is not up to that of GHQ. These ships were ineffective in their designed role but were useful as escorts. GHQ does not produce any of the Japanese small escort-type ships of WWII. I would like to see more of this type of small warship available (for example: French la Melpomène class, German Mob-type, Italian Spica class, Soviet Yastreb class, UK River, Loch, Bay, & Castle classes, US Tacoma class & PCE).

• WWII Japan late-war navy aircraft: Yokosuka D4Y [Judy] (both in-line & radial versions – neither had folding wings), Aichi B7A Ryusei [Grace] (open & folded wings), Kawanishi N1K1-J Shiden [George], Yokosuka P1Y Ginga [Frances]. Although Jill, Val, etc. continued fighting to the end of the war, they were meat on the table for Hellcats and Corsairs. I need some improved Japanese aircraft to make hypothetical late-war battles more evenly balanced. If hypotheticals are allowed, the carrier-based Mitsubishi A7M Reppu [Sam] would have been a good match against late-war US carrier-based fighters.

• WWII Soviet Union destroyer type 7U: This is a natural follow-on to SUN02 Type 7 destroyers; differing in appearance due to two funnels for a more damage-tolerant unit machinery arrangement. A significant number were completed before the end of the war. Viking Forge makes a 1/2400 model of the Type 7U but the quality is inferior to that of GHQ’s Micronauts.

• WWII UK heavy cruisers Berwick and Cornwall: GHQ has modeled several County class cruisers but not this pair; modified with a large hanger aft but not with the cut-down quarterdeck of Cumberland and Suffolk (UKN2). Panzerschiffe makes a resin 1/2400 model of this appearance but the detail is far below that of GHQ.

• WWII UK light cruiser Modified Colony class (Ceylon, Newfoundland, Uganda) - All the available 1/2400 models of Colony class ships are the earlier version with four triple-6" mounts. No one makes a version with additional antiaircraft replacing one of the four 6" mounts. Also, many of the earlier Colony class were modified to this appearance during the war.

• WWII UK sloops Black Swan class - I've got plenty of 'Flower' class corvettes, but the British had hundreds of other escort-type ships (Bay, Loch, River, Bittern, Egret, Castle, etc.). Any of these would be a welcome addition. I selected Black Swan because this was the most-produced of the pre-war escort designs. Other than ‘Flower’ class corvettes, the only 1/2400 model of a WWII British escort is CinC’s Avon (River class) – not one of their best models.

• WWII US Navy & Marine early-war aircraft [Brewster F2A Buffalo, Curtiss SBC Helldiver, Douglas TBD Devastator, and Vought SBU Vindicator]: As the Japanese Navy is missing late-war aircraft, the USN is missing early-war aircraft. The Buffalo, Devastator, and Vindicator are absolutely necessary for early-war scenarios such as Coral Sea and Midway. SBCs remained on some US carriers in the first few months of 1942 and some were used in the South Pacific in the scouting role. Although they are already available, I wouldn’t mind more Wildcats showing up in this pack.

• WWII US battleship Idaho (BB-42) (as modified with enclosed single 5â€￾ mounts): This ship had a unique appearance and was involved in combat with this arrangement. To the best of my knowledge, no one makes a 1/2400 scale model.

• WWII US heavy cruiser Indianapolis (CA-35) (final configuration) – We are getting close to being able to represent all the US pre-war heavy cruiser types in both early-war & late-war configuration. A late-war Pensacola (CA-24) or Chester (CA-27) would also be welcome, but Indianapolis gets my vote because of her tragic sinking. No one makes a 1/2400 model of a late-war Indianapolis.

Personally I would love to see GHQ release a bit more on the US Air Defense side, such as PATRIOT and THAAD. Things like:

M983A3/A4 HEMTTs
M985E1 GMT (Guided Missile Transports)
M901 PATRIOT LS (Emplaced/Road Marched variants)
And eventually the fire control systems

Being an air defender has no bearing on my desire to see these produced. ;) I know they probably wouldn't be much in a lot of the smaller scale games, but they'd make for good objective for scenarios.

Beyond that I'd really like to see a JSDF, and ROK army lines.

Random other desires:

LVTP6 with 105mm howitzer turret
OV-10 Bronco

81mm mortars
