GHQ

1/285 WWII and Modern Micro Armour

by Bill Rutherford

GHQ continues to produce an ever widening array of 1/285 scale vehicles and equipment. New to their Italian WW Il lineup is the M11/39 medium tank, illustrated. This is a complete remake of what was one of their earlier models. Also shown is a very nice redo of GHQ:s earlier Wespe, a German WWII selfpropelled artillery piece. New to their line is the PzBw I command tank. This model looks like a caricature of a tank, which is just how it's supposed to... Not shown are a collection of very nice German light tanks including the PZ L Pz IIa - C, and Pz IIf. These are, as expected, quite nice there's enough detail on them to make them stand out even in Panzer Grey.

In the modern scene, you will note the M2A2 Bradley IFV with additional armor a definite improvement on an already nice model. Finally, and unfortunately not illustrated is a complete redo of the PzJ I the Pz I with a Czech 47mm ATG mounted on it. Detail is good and there's enough room in the fighting compartment to stick in a crew if you want! Speaking of which ... GHQ has started putting vehicle crews in a number of their more recent flakwagens and halftracks how about some crew for the open topped AFVs and SPA? There's much more that's new go to your local game shop to see it. Oh GHQs prices per pack have gone up, effective May 1, from $5.95 to $6.95, in large part due to their switch from conventional 'white metal' to pewter that contains minimal lead. You may find older blister packs of tanks on the shelves if you do, grab 'em!
