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.


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-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.




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.




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.


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.


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...
