Any chance there could be a model made for this by GHQ or is there one made by another company? I always liked the aircraft and it does do well for night ops for micro armor.
Haven't seen the CH-46 "Frog" either and was wondering if that would ever be in the works.

There are models of both offered by companies in competition with GHQ so it isn't kosher to mention them by name here. I hope this is an acceptable solution under the rules of the forum...

Thank you sirs.
One more question....
Is there a reliable US distributor of many of the minis from England/Europe? I'm a bit paranoid when it comes to credit card transactions and overseas. I find that a lot of civilian vehicle minis come from England and was wondering.

Cpl.,
If you are concerned about using credit cards overseas send a international money order via registered mail. It takes a couple of e-mails to set up so you have the correct totals, etc., but it works fine, but it takes longer.
If you purchase a Walthers N/Z catalogue you will be amazed by the amount of Z scale material they have that is usable, ...like prepainted accurate european fire equipment, big trucks, shipping containers, etc., some of which is illustrated above. All that equipment plays a part on the modern battlefield. Remember, "Z" scale is closer in size to the figures, but works well with the tanks, etc., also...
Note the tankers in the picture above...
Hope this helps... Will

referring to the censoring above ....What rules of the forum? I can't find them.
I find it a bit paranoid and stiffling to worry about the casual naming of where someone could find a prodcut GHQ does not even offer. Barring a specific attempt to advertise and blatantly steal customers postings should be left alone.
GHQ stands well on its own merit and has nothing to fear from anyone else.

Our gracious hosts have asked that we don't plug the competition on here, like adding links to their sites. And fair enough too. Discussing the other lots are ok, depending on the context I guess. Heck, there are models made by the opposition in enough photos here. It would be a shame if they felt they have to write rules for this place, since it's largely policed by the users.

Our hosts GHQ have set up this fine forum to be self-policing. All who wear the
MODERATOR hat are volunteers from among the forum participants.
The only requests GHQ have made are for the membership to maintain a reasonable
level of decorum and courtesy (not defined in any explicit rules), and that the forum not
become a GHQ-funded mechanism for advertising by their competitors. To this latter
point, GHQ's standard for what defines an ad for the competition is the posting of links
to competing webstores.
Our hosts have raised no objections to discussions of microarmor in all its glory. Some
of us, however, prefer not to explicitly mention the most direct competitors, out of a
sense of courtesy to our hosts.

Yeah - I have to keep remembering to NOT mention any opposition when posting, but it sometimes gets a bit difficult when you use GHQ with just about everything 
Anyway, I'm really impressed with Will's (1ComOpsCtr's) terrain shown up above.
Will, are all those bits that you've shown from Walthers?
And they're Z scale, which is what - 1/250th scale?
I'm interested in the tankers, the Chemical plant and the river barge that you've shown.
Any steer on their part nos etc so I can try and locate some this side of the pond.
A resin terrain manufacturer over here has started to release some Z scale stuff as well. Looks like some of it may fit?
Many Thanks,
Battler

Battler, "Z" scale is 1/220 scale. If you took a GHQ infantry figure and a Z scale figure and stood them side-by-side you would see they are very close to identical in height... and as you I am sure are aware the artillery crews are really 1/285th so they fit beside the vehicle models and guns more appropriately... thus the ability to use the Preiser civilian assortment in conjunction with the infantry. The infantry figures are bulkier because they need to be to stand up to the handling of gaming. The artillerists, etc., are much more delicate because they are closer to scale and if you take a look at other makers of 1/285th scale figures (exact scale) they are also very thin and don't stand up to handling well...

The link above will take you to the Walthers quick search for "Z" scale vehicles. The catalogue link on the upper left will help you obtain one of their N/Z scale listings though I am sure what you need is obtainable locally at a model railroad shop since most of the suppliers Walthers uses are European, plus they may be less expensive in the UK because of the exchange rates... The Walters 'N&Z"scale listings are extensive and cover much of what is available worldwide, but I would also bet you have more items available than we do here is the states because Z scale is more popular as an EU scale than here also. There may be a company that imports into the UK much as Walters does in the US...
The chemical plant parts are from Leva or are scratch built. The buildings are from various manufacturers including GHQ.
More later... Will

Leva makes the barges also, and the heavily damaged manufacturing facility you can see in the background...
