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. 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. |

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-AT (CinC) LAV-AT (GHQ) 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-R (GHQ) LAV-L (GHQ) Unlike the CinC model, GHQ's LAV-L is noticeable different from the LAV-C. 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 AAAVP-7A1 Updated version of the earlier LVTP-7 -- an excellent model. |

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. |

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

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... |
