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. ![]() |

Decals from I-94. ![]() ![]() |
