GHQ WWII Wish List

[srcurrie]

I did not know if anyone had done a wish list before but these are the WWII items that I wish that GHQ would make for their WWII ranges:

German Artillery Limbers with Horses
American M4A1 MMC Mortar Halftrack
American Lendlease M4A2 Sherman Tank (US Marines and Russian)

Those are 3 right off the top of my head. Anyone else?

[Grizzly]

i'd like to see more of the lesser talked about forces ,especially earlier like Dutch 1940 infantry and the DAF armored cars and maybe some of the Czech A/C that were used by almost everyone on the eastern front.

Another:

German Bicycle Troops
German Ski Troops
Russian Ski Troops

[Grizzly]

oh ya forgot; BT-42 spg for my finnish army

[BattlerBritain]

Russian motorcycle troops

[rct75001]

Agree with the artillery limbers

BUT my main want is the Becker Funnies from the 21st Panzer Div in Normandy Most of them are not convertable and hence I am stuck - they look great and add lots of variety.

[ACWBill]

Number one are the Becker Funnies- They would be too cool!
Matilda I
Winter US Infantry in Greatcoats
Germans in Greatcoats with some M1943 Softhats
Soviet Rifles in early war 1940-1941 garb
Germans in SS Field Smocks
Redo the Heavy Weapons Packs and mortars
Kneeling ATG Gun Crews
M1917 Water Cooled MMG
Rework the M1 155mm US Howitzer
German Ford Trucks
German/French Citroen Staff Cars
French Laffly and all the German Laffly conversions
French and Polish Gun Crews
US Paras!

NAM
A6 Intruder
A4 Skyhawk
Ontos
US LRRPs in Boonie Hats
Nam era US Gun Crew
T-54

[ACWBill]

How about the F4U Corsair - Used in two wars!

[SeaHarrier2006]

My Wish list includes stuff from ww2 and stuff up to mid 1970's.

Some different aricraft to fit on 1:2400 WW2 British Aircraft Carriers such as:
Supermarine Sea Fire
Hawker Sea Hurricane
Fairy Fulmer
Fairy Fire Fly
H.M.S. Vanguard (Last British Battleship jlaunched at the end of the war).


Post WW2 1:2400 Models:

H.M.S. Ark Royal (1955-1978), plus Sea Vixen, Phantoms, and Buccaneers, and Sea King Helicopters.
Leander Class Type 12 Frigates 1960's- 1970's
H.M.S. Lion/Blake Cruisers converted to carry Helicopters
Maybe some British Land based aircraft, which could include the Vulcan Bomber, Tornado, and Jaguar

These would be a nice addition to the Royal navy Micronaughts, but I fear we will have to wait and see what happens in the future releases.

While these are not all WW2 wishes, it would be nice to have these in the 1:2400 scale.

In the same time period as WWII, how about some stuff from the Spanish Civil War? What is the possibility of GHQ expanding its lines to include stuff from WWI?

[Der Kommandeur]

Hi All

Well I'm feeling a little smug, 'cos GHQ unexpectedly fullfilled the largest wishes on my 2005/6 lists when they announced the JU52 and Go242 – cheers GHQ! So now I'm after a few smaller items:

Austin K2 ambulance
Bedford QL 6pdr Portee
Scorpion flail (Matilda)
Dorchester ACV
Humber Snipe staff car
Morris C4 and 15cwt CMP radio vehicles
– maybe there's a British command set in there somewhere ...
15cm sIG33 (Pz II chassis)
Frame aerials for the Sdkfz 250/3 251/3

Fiesler Storch
DC3

That'll do me for now!

Pitfall pondered:

Ah, but that is the advantage of building a WW2 French Army! The WW2 line is already composed mostly of stuff from WW1!

Well, I would not say I feel smug, but certainly appreciative, as one of my biggest wishes, early-war US Shermans, was met with the latest release!

Rather than add more of my own, I might offer to "second" some of what others have posted:

>German Artillery Limbers with Horses
Well, yes. Any artillery limbers with horses would be good. German, Russian, French, Italian. German would be a start, I suppose. Personally I'd buy any but the Germans, only 'cause I don't collect Germans. I'd buy extra French, as I would use them for both my French and my Roumanians. As for German horse limbers ... I'd sure like my opponants to have some. I'd shoot at them. That would be fun.

>the Czech A/C that were used by almost everyone on the eastern front.
I'm not sure what Czech A/C this refers to. But more early-war A/Cs would be good. Maybe some of the old 1920's British RR A/Cs, or some of the Fiat models? The Soviet BA-20 can do double- and triple-service, as it was based on a Ford model that several other nations used.

>right at the top of mine is the Matilda I for France 1940
I don't collect Brits. But this sounds like a good choice to me. There is so much available for the "Blitzkrieg in the West, 1940" that this one could help complete the picture. Probably a fun tank to take into a battle. Impervious, but also just about harmless. Maybe someone could role along next to my French forces with some. I'd like that.

>Russian motorcycle troops
Oh, yes please! Very common on the Eastern Front. I have some Russian motorcyle troops from an off-brand vendor. Oy, is they ugly! Would surely love to have some nice looking ones.

>Winter US Infantry in Greatcoats
Sounds good to me. I'd buy some!

>Germans in Greatcoats with some M1943 Softhats
Sounds good to me. I'd shoot at some!

>Soviet Rifles in early war 1940-1941 garb
Sounds very good to me. I'd buy lots. But please ... not just early war garb. Rifles. The RIGHT rifles. MOSIN NAGANT rifles! WITH BAYONETS. Please!

>Germans in SS Field Smocks
Oh boy, more to shoot at!

>Redo the Heavy Weapons Packs and mortars
YES YES Yes yes yes yes . . .

>Kneeling ATG Gun Crews
Oh yes, those too, please!

>M1917 Water Cooled MMG
Yeah. Nice. But how about some M1919s too? Or first, even?

>French and Polish Gun Crews
Yeah. Of course. How could you do kneeling gun crews and not have the French in the mix? Standing too, please.

Out of them all, my biggest wish is the infantry. Fixing the infantry and support packs, to complete the weapons fit and better reflect 1-to-1 unit TOEs.

And, even though I don't "do" micronaughts ...

>H.M.S. Ark Royal (1955-1978), plus Sea Vixen, Phantoms, and Buccaneers, and Sea King
This gets an "honorable mention", just 'cause I find it to be such an interesting ship (HMS Victorious, too), and who wouldn't love to see 1/2400 Sea Vixens lined-up all over the decks!

Wow. Lots of posts to my original!
Anyway, I agree with Detail Packs if their are units already just needing a detail (like side skirts).
I stiil say M21 MMC and M4A2 lend lease Sherman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was glad to see the UK post as I have no idea what might be missing for UK/Canada as I do not play those armies.
