Consolidated 1/285 Wish List

[Hoth_902]

Shawno,.

The big draw, or would have for me, is that you got exactly what you needed for a complete company of a particular type, and i think, you got a slight discount then if you bought them all seperatley. Plus you did not have odd vehicles that were left over if you did not want the extras.

Again, it's not do or die for me, but if you are writing a list to santa, why not put everything you want and hope something is selected. LOL.

For me the appeal is to have a complete company size unit. I like to build whole units and I can get a full tank company or mech company in one purchase. For the modern US companies, the combat commands would usually have a single APC or a single recovery vehicle, plus a few HMMWVs and a couple trucks. The M113s come in packs of 5 and the M88s come in those packs of two M88s and two M758s.

CG2, not a new vehicle, but can I change a vote to M88 packaged by itself rather than in with the M578s?

[CG2]

You actually had a Cold War vote left so I've added that in.

Ok, there are 185 separate items on the Consolidated Wish List, which does not include Mircronauts. Last year GHQ's list included 47 new releases, of which 12 were Micronauts, leaving 35.

Assuming GHQ release 35 new non-Micronaut items again, who wants to guess how many of them will be on the Wishlist? I'm going to stick my neck out and guess 19 - anyone else want to have a go?

What is the prize? A free no expense paid trip to the GHQ mothership where you can stand in the lobby looking at the current sampling of minis in a showcase on the wall (best guess based on many visits to manufacturing plants in the '70s to 2000s).

[CG2]

Bragging rights only, I'm afraid.

[BurtWolf]

I’m going with only 12...

Three +/- 2

Interesting. It said I wasn't a user and then posted it twice. Oh well.

[PolishGI]

Cold War/Vietnam – LRRPs / Rangers Infantry
Cold War/Vietnam – Marine Force Recon Infantry
Cold War/Vietnam – NVA Counter Recon Infantry
Cold War/Vietnam – Australian Infantry
Decals – Helicopter Nose Art

[CG2]

Can you narrow it down to your top 5 and we can add Decals as a new range? {see 1st post for the rules for this thread).. If not, the usual Wish List, where there are no rules, is still there if you page down a bit.

Sure thing. Sorry about that.

Hello guys !

while waiting for news release that should be coming soon at the end of the next month, here are my wish 2020-21 lists :

First, my « TOP 14 » WWII list :

- British Sherman ARV.
(because we have no ARV for british armored units !…)

- Russian M 1937 type, 152mm long artillery gun,
(tracted and deployed version) with a new heavy prime mover. (a must have for collector or gamer with a russian army)

- Russian Heavy artillery prime mover “Kominternâ€￾ or “Voroshilovezâ€￾.
(a must have for collector or gamers with a russian army for 152mm gun, 203mm,...)

- British LVT4 "water buffalo", with two side MMG & one 20mm Posten gun.
(very good for Rhin crossing in 1945)

- British Staff car.
(very common in many UK HQ units)

- British 15cwt Morris water tank truck.
(present in many UK units)

- German Sdkfz 251/3 ausf.D
(very good for Pz.Gr. Btn HQ late war 44/45)

- German Sdkfz 251/17 ausf.D late version of the 20 mm AA gun
(with the very small armored turret inside the hull)

- German Field kitchen horse drawn
(one kitchen + two or three generic horse drawn wagon in the pack : small russian/german civilian model with one horse use by german forces for example). (very good to complet GHQ « horses drawn wagon » pack and because most of the german army was very equiped with horses until the end of WWII)

- German Sdkfz 251/16 ausf.D (Flamm thrower)
(very good for late war : 1944-45)

- German Engineers heavy trailers
(very good for bridge engineer units, "Brucko" bridge)

- German heavy truck armored cab, Bussing Nag 4500, mount 3,7cm Flak and flak ammo trailer.

- German Opel Blitz truck 3t, late war model without tarpaulin
(great for infantry transport)

- US dozer "Caterpillar" engineer + 20ton semi-trailer, to carry it with a prime mover
(the prime mover could be GHQ Diamond 6x6 Hv truck or the beautiful GHQ Treadway Corbitt 6t truck), very common in engineer units and could complete definitively the awesome GHQ «US engineers CC ».



My « TOP 9 » Vietnam 2020-21 list :

- US M54 5ton 6x6 Heavy utility truck
(special Vietnam aera : without tarpaulin) (very good for convoys ! and very good base for hv armored trucks… later).

- US M54 tractor-trailer truck with semi-trailer (flat semi-trailer without load)
(for transportation btn, because It would be awesome if we could play road truck convoys missions in Vietnam aera between US bases)

- NVA individual infantry « assault sappers ».

- US « Chinook », vietnam version
(differents air filters and different rear tail design).

- US Ford Mutt with Tarpaulin.

- US 3/4t M37 small truck.

- Russian light truck GAZ-63 4x4.

- AC-130 cargo plane
(please, make the model for the Vietnam war) (and great for a « gunship » version too !).

- US riverine boat ATC program 5 (this is the model with larger helipad)
(we already have program 4 from GHQ, so it would be great to have program 5 to play late riverine battles)


Others ideas :
US WWII :
- 90mm M2 Antiaircraft guns
(fire & tracted positions, with 6t truck corbitt without tarpaulin as prime mover)
- LVT(A)4 waterline.
- LVT(A)1 waterline.

GERMAN WWII :
- SdKfz 251/11 ausf "D" pack (for HQ platoon in every late war Pz.Gr. company/battalion)
- Sdkfz 251/5 or 7 (assault engineer) ausf « D ».
- Tiger « Ferdinand » (for Kursk 1943)
(we have « elephant » but no « ferdinand »)
- Me.323 "Gigant" (Hv transport plane for eastern front) in a combat command.
(2 « gigant » in resin with nose (could be in open position) and wings in pewer to equilibre the weight of the model on the front)
- Heavy engineers bridge section « brucko » with Sdkfz 7, 8t halftracks (or hv trucks) and heavy engineer trailors.
(maybe in a combat command)


RUSSIAN WWII :
- T-34 ARV WWII (without turret and with few accessories on the hull : cables, small spare parts, spare wheel, …)
(because the actual T-34 ARV is not good for WWII, it's a post war model used by Poland during the beginning of the Cold War)

ENGLISH WWII :
- Hamilcar heavy Glider (for heavy air landing with Horsa gliders)
- Diamond T 980 (M 20) & M9 trailer Rodger 45 ton.
(very good for transport and recovery missions)
- Churchill Tank assault bridge « Small Box Girder ».
- "Bailey bridge", engineer bridge, (few sections)
(use everywhere with US & GB forces during WWII)
- Airbourne UK Jeep and her airborne trailor.
- UK 15cwt Austin ambulance truck


VARIOUS WWII
- French/german civilians in walking positions with hats on heads and carrying few suitcases.
(very good for exodus situations)
- individual german Volksturm (in civilian suit with suitcoat and civilian hat, one or two bicycles in the pack, rifles and few panzerfaust in hands).
- Japanese civilians.
- Russians individual civilians (wearing heavy clothes (coats) )
- Engineer WWII infantry Combat Teams for US, UK, G and R.

COLD WAR 50s and 80s :
- US M35 medium truck 6x6 without tarpaulin. (for vietnam and cold war)
- US Cobra helo, (the right model for vietnam war)
- US light helo « Sioux ».
- US Helo Sikorsky « Skycrane ».
- Vietminh infantry (same as actual GHQ's vietcong but remplace AK-47 by another weapon and less hats on heads)
- North Korean infantry 1950.
- French, US & german infantry 1980-90 (for cold war in Europe : would be great to play "Red Storm" scenaries)
- Vietnamese civilians pack #2 : with bicycles, tricycle "ice cream", bicycles with cargo loading, one buffalo drawn wagon,....)
- LVTR1A1. (LVTP-5 base)
- US Ford Mutt with Tarpaulin and trailers. (Vietnam and after…)
- civilians europeans (for cold war in Europe or war in Balkans 90/91’, ...)
- T-34/85 for Korean or Vietnam area (differents wheels and fenders comparate to WWII version)
- Russian heavy artillery prime mover tractor ATS.
- Russians engineer amphib’ pontoons...

Like « whoa Mohamed »
I would still love to see :
- M274 mechanical mule
- US Infantry in bush hats with M16, FN, AK47, SKS
- CTA 15 with out Tarp with 7.62 1919a1 for Ruf/Puf Mechanised rifle squadrons ARVN.

- PSP plates on large sheet styrene or resin (on every military airfields or bases during WWII, Korean, Vietnam, wars...)

You'll have to narrow that down to 5 in each category (see 1st post in this thread) if you want me to add your choices to the list. The unlimited wish list is further down the pages somewhere.
