Armour

Valentine Mk II
A fine model from GHQ




This is the ISM version.  The body is copied from GHQ's Bishop (may be from one of the other GHQ Valentine models, but I don't have them, so I don't know...)






Covenanter
The Covenanter was an early British cruiser tank.  It was in generally an abject failure; it was never deployed in a combat role outside Britain, despite over 1700 built.  This model is from Armstrong, and is quite nice.


GHQ A-9 Cruiser Tank



GHQ A-10 Cruiser Tank







GHQ A-13 Cruiser Tank
Four models of the A-13 with various desert markings








GHQ Crusader I
Four models of the Crusader I in various desert paint schemes








Crusader

This model is from CinC.  It is not up to the same standards of the GHQ model (though this was a used one, and not straight out of the package)


Matilda II
GHQ's Matilda Infantry Tank.  These models suffered an unpleasant accident when sealing -- I accidentally grabbed the aircraft gray than the dullcote.  I repainted them, but they didn't come out great.






Here are a series of very, very old GHQ Matildas, dating back to the early 1970s, I believe.  I tried out three different paint schemes.  They don't compare well with their modern counterparts -- the shape is off, and the barrels are far too weak.












M3 Grant
An older GHQ model, well-pitted with age when acquired.  One of the worst paint jobs on this site.


Several other versions, with far better paint jobs




This one has crude unit markings painted on.  Future models will have GHQ decals instead.


A whole horde of Grants (actually a platoon-scale early 1942 battalion)


MkVIB Light Tank
A fine GHQ model.  Also suffered from an inadverent priming...




Morris Armoured Car
From GHQ, painted with the caunter camo scheme




Morris Armoured Car
GHQ model with 2lb AT gun


Humber Scout Car Mk II
GHQ model in two different paint jobs






GHQ Humber Scout Car Mk IV




Another version, by one of the British manufacturers, not really in the same league as its GHQ equivalent


Lloyd Carrier
From Armstrong Models, with and without canvas cover




Bren Carrier
ISM Model




Older GHQ Bren Carriers
A bit rougher than their newer items





Artillery

2lber AT Gun
A good model from GHQ. One problem, though -- it has a seat for a crewman, but no crewman molded on.


6lber AT Gun
An Armstrong Model




Bishop Self-Propelled Gun
An interim self-propelled 25lber on a Valentine chassis, this version from GHQ




25lb Guns
These are very old GHQ models -- dating from the early 1970s, along with the current GHQ 8th Army artillery crews




4.5" Guns
Manufacturer unknown, gun crews from GHQ






Bofors 40mm AA Gun
CinC model, with GHQ halftrack infantry for crewmen



Infantry

GHQ's 3" Mortar Team


UK GHQ Vickers Team




UK Boys Anti-Tank Rifle Team




GHQ Infantry
GHQ's individual UK infantry in tropical dress.  The bases are play sand with white glue, repeatedly washed with varying colors.  I'm not entriely happed with the colors, but they'll do for now.









Soft Skin Vehicles

6lber Portee
An interesting model from Armstrong Miniatures.




Morris 15CWT Truck
GHQ Model


UK 15CWT Trucks
From Armstrong Models, both with and without canvas




UK 15CWT Radio Truck
From Armstrong Models


India Pattern Wheeled Carrier
From Armstrong Models






Spider Gun Tractor
From Armstrong




Quad Gun Tractor
From Stevens International, which I believe just re-packaged Skytrex models.



Aircraft

Fairey Barracuda
Late war Naval Air Arm bomber from Skywarrior/Skyraider.  Decals are from I-94 Enterprises.



Hawker Tempest
Late war fighter/bomber from Skywarrior/Skyraider (I think... might be Skytrex)




Fairey Albacore
I believe this is an H&R model (it was new when I built it, but I have to check).  Decals from I-94.
