M60 TTS
GHQ's reactive armor clad version of the venerable M60.  This is a fantastic models, with extremely well detailed reactive tiles.  These models are done in a four-color pattern often seen on Marine vehicels in teh 1980s.  Unfortunately (and completely out of character for GHQ), some of these models had a fair bit of flash on the wheels that was very difficult to remove.




GHQ M60A3


ISM Super M60
This is the model of an upgrade proposed for the M60, painted up as a USMC vehicle.
Note: some recent research indicates that these may in fact be attempts to model the Krauss Maffei/Thyssen Henschel Super M48, but I'd still be on the Super 60.


ISM M1A1
From the Marine Task Force pack.  Like most of the ISM models, it has the parts that (if from GHQ or CinC) would be separate parts molded on.  Consequently, the .50 cal HMG is stunted and not particularly discernible.


Only a single model in the pack was different... this one had what appears to be have cables strong across it back.


APCs & Light Vehicles

A Note On LAV Models
While I am generally quite a fan of CinC, the LAV-25 and variants are one set of models in which you really do get much more for your money from GHQ.  There is far more detail on each model, really rewarding a good paint job. 

LAV-25 (CinC)

This is the CinC LAV-25.   I painted all my CinC LAVs  in NATO 3-tone, which is common for those not serving in the Middle East.  The GHQ models are in 4-tone MERDC as seen below on the Amtracs.


LAV-25 (GHQ)


More GHQ Lav-25s


LAV-25 (ISM)
This is a copy of the GHQ model (the hull at least...) with baggage added


LAV-AT (CinC)


LAV-AT (GHQ)


LAV-AT (ISM)
This is simply a GHQ LAV-AT with the missile launcher cast as a single piece on the hull and some exterior gear added.




LAV-81
CinC's version of the 81mm Mortar-carrying LAV


LAV-81 (GHQ)


LAV-C and LAV-R (CinC)
CinC's LAV Command and Recovery variants.  There is also a logistic variant that is quite similar to the LAV-C.


LAV-C (GHQ)


LAV-C (or L?, ISM)
This is a CinC knockoff


LAV-R (GHQ)


LAV-R (ISM)
This is, in fact, a copy of the CinC model with a couple of tires and boxes added, and the crane molded on.


LAV-L (GHQ)
Unlike the CinC model, GHQ's LAV-L is noticeable different from the LAV-C.


LAV-AD (ISM)
I'm not really sure what real-world vehicle this model is mean to represent.  The hull appears to be GHQ.




LAV-AG (Hybrid)
This is a speculative (ie fake) vehicle, using an extra ISM LAV hull with a GHQ Stryker 105mm turret.




LAV-AG (Hybrid)
Scotia turret on GHQ hull.  The third shot shows a howitzer-armed version (purely speculative.)






GHQ LVTP-7
Several post-eBay LVTP-7s that suffered a bit when removed from their basing.  Better versions are forthcoming, along with the newer GHQ AAAVP-7, an excellent model.


GHQ LVTP-7 Recovery Version


GHQ AAAVP-7A1
Updated version of the earlier LVTP-7 -- an excellent model.




More AAVP's, with alternate paint schemes






AAVP-C
Command version of the later AAVP from GHQ -- this one came in a pack with LVTP-7 recovery vehicles


Artillery, Tracked and Towed

M198 155mm Towed Howitzer
An excellent model from GHQ.  I am working on a crew for it.


M925 5-Ton Truck
This model is from GHQ; a pair comes packed with the M198 set.


Here are several other version of this model; I like to really vary up the paint schemes on trucks.




HMMWV with 40mm AGL (ISM)
From the ISM Marine Task Force pack


HMMWV with .50 Cal (ISM)
From the ISM Marine Task Force pack


HMMWV with TOW (ISM)
From the ISM Marine Task Force pack


HMMWV Cargo (ISM)
From the ISM Marine Task Force pack


M35? Trucks (ISM)
From the ISM Marine Task Force pack




USMC HEMTT Fueler (ISM)
From the ISM Marine Task Force pack


AVLB
This is the GHQ version


Aircraft

Heroics & Ros AH1

These models are actually quite good.  They are painted up in USMC colors with GHQ decals.  The color is a bit washed out in this photos, but they are mid-gray.  The stands are wooden disks pierced with 18-gauge wire.




CH-46 by CinC
An excellent model; the rotors are works of art, but a bit fragile.  Decals are from GHQ, except tail code, which is I-94 Enterprises.  I really need to learn to paint aircraft.


CH-53 by CinC
Another fantastic model with great rotors, but a bit fragile.  Decals are GHQ.


MV-22 Osprey
A fine model from GHQ






RA-5C Vigilante
Used as a recon bird by the US Navy until the early 1980s.  This model is an injection molded 1/300 scale plastic kit from Nichimo, who make a line of US carrier aircraft in this scale.  They come two (different) models to a pack, and have extensive sets of decals.


Two A-4 Skyhawk Models
Two A-4 Models -- on the left is one from Skytrex (I believe), while on the right is a Nichimo kit.


ISM A-4
Appears to be a copy of the Nichimo kit


F-14 Tomcat
Another plastic model from Nichimo, it has a cool set of decals.


F-18 Hornet
Nichimo's version of the F-18.  There are actually a number of decals on this model, but they are the low visibility markings, and very tough to distinguish.


CinC's F-18
A most excellent model -- very delicate, though.  Painted up in the low-vis paint scheme.




A-6 Intruder
Nichimo's version, which comes with excellent decals.


EA-6B
From Nichimo, also has an excellent set of decals


A-7 Corsair
Another Nichimo model with a great set of decals.  


F-4
Navy version from Nichimo.  I had a bit of trouble with the large decals on the tail -- they are actually slightly larger than the model...




S-3 Tracker
Probably never going to have much use in a wargame, but it is a cool model.  Also from Nichimo (notice a pattern here?)


The ISM version of the same model




E-2C Hawkeye
Nichimo model, wins the award for "Least Likely Model To Ever Grace A Gaming Table"


F-5E
Skytrex model with GHQ missiles, painted up to resemble an aggressor aircraft used by the Top Gun school.


Watercraft

LST-8
GHQ's model, an excellent kit

Note:  I also have a pair of LCAC from GHQ, but it is a daunting model and I haven't gotten around to actually finishing them yet...
