Re: Micro Armour Wish List 2024-2025 - Your Top Five
Here is my list. I have been fortunate that many of my previous wishes have already been met but there are still a few things.
1. Israeli Infantry/Heavy Weapons - 1967/73. I would love to see some Israeli infantry from this period.
2. British Infantry/Heavy Weapons - 1970s-80s. Hopefully with the scrim on their helmets.
3. Churchill V - The Churchill with the short 95mm gun for close support.
4. Panzer IVG - GHQ has one but the model is off a bit. Wrong drive sprocket with no teeth, dimensions seem off a bit as well, needs a tow cable, and the shorter L43 gun vs the L48 gun which was in the very late production models. Yes, I am asking for a complete resculpt of this workhorse of the Wehrmacht as the current one is not up to the standards I have come to expect from GHQ.
5. WWII American Heavy Weapons Pack #2. This would include the 30 cal M1919 and M1917 MGs plus the 81mm Mortar and maybe even the 4.2 inch Chemical Mortar. At least 2 man crews on each and maybe a few extra figures as NCOs, Ammo Bearers, etc.

Re: Micro Armour Wish List 2024-2025 - Your Top Five
I'm a little biased but I'll focus on the Team Yankee Japan and Korea books, with their mid/late 80s flair.
1. Type 75 155mm SP Artillery. This model is really hard to find and extremely difficult to kitbash in 6mm. There aren't even STLs for 3D printers out there anywhere. This was the main JGSDF artillery piece until replaced by the Type 99 that GHQ currently has. It bears similarities with the M109, but the hull, turret and running gear are all sufficiently different to make them distinguishable even in this scale.
2. Type 75 75MSSR multiple rocket launcher. Another one I can't find for love nor money, the Type-75 was built on the hull of a Type-7 tank and was the main army support artillery before the MLRS was purchased.
3. K-1 88 tank. This was the original South Korean indigenous MBT, before the K1A1 and K2 (both of which are here on GHQ). For those playing an 80s or 90s force, this is a must-have to complete the ORBATT.
4. I-HAWK trailer-mounted SAMs. This system was operated as a set of different trailers with a search radar, tracking radar, launcher posts, etc. At the very least a tracking radar and firing posts would be needed, along with some crew infantry (or just use artillery/ground crew minis from your respective nation). Both Japan and the ROK used this, but it was employed by the US and a range of other nations across the world in the 70s and 80s.
5. KM900/ Fiat 6614. Employed as a wheeled armoured transport by the ROKA's Capital Defence Corps, the KM900 was employed in bulk with .50cal MGs or M60s. It also came with a KM901 variant with a small bulldozer blade and there were mortar and ambulance variants. This is also impossible to find in 6mm.

Boxer's common chassis offers a lot of possibilities. How about the common chassis, for which we can buy different modules? BUT, for now, need the high top Boxer variant for command and medical roles. The mortar and recovery variants would be nice, too. Several armies are buying Boxer. The Brits are equipping their mechanized infantry battalions and may use it, rather than Aries, for their armoured infantry battalions currently in Warrior. The Boxer artillery variant may replace AS90.
The new USMC wheeled amphibious assault vehicle.
That's my five, if you do all the Boxers.

Re: Micro Armour Wish List 2024-2025 - Your Top Five
I've really appreciated the Japan and Korea ranges. However, with the unofficial Team Yankee Japan and Korea books, there are a few things that are missing from what's on offer here that I'd love to get my hands on.
1. Type 75 Self-Propelled Artillery "75HSP". This 155mm self-propelled gun was the mainstay of the JGSDF in the 80s, featuring an autoloader and common chassis with the Type 74 tank. For any Hokkaido-based force from the 80s, this is an essential piece. The 7th division had an entire regiment of these guns. Even looking for STLs and the like on the internet yields almost nothing for this vehicle beyond a few 1/35 scale models.
2. Type 75 Multiple Rocket Artillery "75MSSR". At Army level, these assets were available for longer-ranged suppression fires. They were often parcelled out to support local units, and could keep pace with armoured advances. Another one where I can't seem to find it anywhere.
3. Type 60 APCs and derivatives. These older vehicles were used as APCs but also as the basis for a few extra vehicles like the MAT launcher and a pair of self-propelled mortars.
4. KM900/ Fiat 6614. These were used by the South Korean Capital Defence Command and airfield. A 4x4 armoured vehicle with an ACAV .50cal turret (or even just the MG on a cupola) that I can't seem to find elsewhere. Variants include a small bulldozer blade on the front, as well as versions with an open back hatch for the mortar carrier version or those with crew operating from the rear hatch.
5. North Korea's TokChon self-propelled gun platform. This was used for a variety of artillery and air defence weapons, most prominently the 152mm artillery system and a twin 37mm AA gun.

4. Stridsvagen 103 S-Tank - I thought I'd break up the VDV requests with the crazy Swedish S -Tank. Mainly because they look great
Thoughts?
I'm something of a fan of the turret - less / fixed gun idea , so I was terribly keen on getting ASU - 85's.
( and with few exceptions, I only have eyes for Eastern Bloc equipment. )
I was without internet awhile , so checking Wikipedia wasn't possible , and I didn't know Scotia made an ASU - 85.
So when I saw GHQ was making the Stridsvagen, I was happy . I figured it could serve as my Sort - of ASU - 85 substitute.
Of course it was the wrong Stridsvagen.
Anyway , I second this choice .
THAT Stridsvagen is really cool.
ASU - 85 --
Yeah , Scotia makes one , but GHQ is simply the best.
T - 34 / 100 Tank Destroyer
Egyptian. It looks like Pinocchio became a Tank.
Gaz 69
Quite possibly my favorite automobile/ jeep of all time.
I can't recall whether I got my current GAZ - 69's from Scotia or Heroics ( ? ) but while otherwise a fine casting , they seem a bit small ?
Anyways , if I could get my GAZ - 69 Fix with GHQ I would buy a dealerships worth.
BMR - 600
I don 't know what this would be doing in an East German or Soviet motor pool , but I like it for some reason.
I can't say why it is special , but I like it for some reason.
As far as I know it would be GHQ's first Spanish modern ?

Rumor has it that not all Warsaw Pact Generals were modest - living Communists.
So I would like some 1978 model ZIL Limosines for my Division commanders.
And for WW II , a 1940's model ZIL Limousine.
I forget the exact model names / numbers . I could report back with the specifications.
Well ..... we do have Vietnamese children , and Water Buffalo, and Camels ,
So maybe hedonistic Communist Bloc commanders could get some love ?

Since I'm trying to recreate a "Heeres Flak Artillerie Abteilung", there are some gaps in GHQ's inventory that I'd love to be filled.

2. Kfz 415 with Kommandohilfsgerät 35 on a Sd.Anh 53 trailer.
3. Kfz 83 with 60 cm Flakscheinwerfer Gerät 36 on a Sd.Anh 51 trailer.
