My Top Five objects to model for GHQ include.
1.1939 or 40 (ish) US Staff Car (this is also on my n-scale RR list too).
2. US Hawk SAM system
3. Rus, S400- SAM system, one travelling and one with tubes up
4. US MQ-9 Reaper
5. Universal: soldiers launching small hand held drones

[foxbat]

If possible, voting for the MiG 25.

[R83rsrul3]

My top 5:

1 - THAAD Battery
2 - PATRIOT Battery
Both of the above would obviously include various radar and command vehicles as well as the launchers themselves

3 - USMC Truck mounted ASMs (ROGUE I believe it’s called)
4 - upgraded MIM-23 HAWK launchers: these have made a comeback in Ukraine and are still in use on Taiwan
5 - KM-SAM: Korean SAM system. I like missiles, it seems.

Thank you for your suggestions!

This list consists largely of requests submitted to us by YOU, our customers. We welcome suggestions throughout the year—and keep them all! Each request is given consideration as the upcoming production list is painstakingly compiled.

Every year we are able to offer you about 45 new miniatures, and in addition to some of the most popular requests, we also try to produce models for the many categories our customers enjoy. We sincerely hope you find a few things to look forward to on this list!

From the above, only the Israeli D9 Armoured Bulldozer was on my list.

I'm steadfastly avoiding Ukraine, as much as I'd love to game the conflict. So the bulk of the Ultra-Modern kit won't find a place on my table. Saying that, the M1A2 SEP v3 will go towards modernising my ADF Armoured Regiment, and both the M60TM and Bayraktar TB2 will likely find a place in my generic Arab OPFOR.

How'd your wishlisting work out for you?

[panzergator]

Only the M10 and D9 for sure.

I'm adding to my British infantry in the form of a Boxers-mounted battalion, as that is where the Brits are going, and some US Stryker units (I know... HORRORS! WHEELED APCs!, but I'm bowing to pressure, and likely only one or two battalions for contingencies) I WISH the Marine ACV had been included and do not understand why it wasn't, because I really do want a battalion of those. After the Stryker battalion is finished and British Boxer completed, it may be time to add some new M1 models. I might equip a US unit with Eitan. I already have a battalion of V150s and another of LAV-25s built in the '90s, when the motorized infantry battalions were first looked at. I keep them around for establishing bridgeheads.

I'm NOT TOUCHING Ukraine. Too current, too fluid and a bit its own animal. I disagree with providing M1 and M2 to Ukraine for a number of reasons. In any case, out of my direction of collection. More artillery down the pike, especially if GHQ does the Boxer 155mm.

[MechCommander]

FINALLY!!! a Modern Canadian Warship!!!

[Mortis57]

Although they're really too early for my WWII Germans, I might be tempted into a pack ot two of the Kfz.1 and Kfz.4.

Given the amount of 3D printed Land Mattresses and Nebelwefers I bought recently the T27 Xylophone systems also have my name on. The one thing that may put me off the ground mounted version is if it comes in the now standard pack (for artillery pieces) of 2 towed, 2 deployed, and 2 tractors as I usually only need half as many towed versions as deployed versions for artillery.

I might (for completeness) also get some T-38s as noone else seems to do them - yes I could use the T-37 but the turret's on the wrong side.

[33YearsGHQ]

FINALLY!!! a Modern Canadian Warship!!!

And it is pretty much a one class navy, so we can model the entire navy!

[redleg]

There are several things on this list that I will be acquiring. I'm sure the D9 will be a real crowd pleaser!

It seems that GHQ has indeed been paying attention to some of the things we have been asking for. I'm curious how the naval items on this list compare to the Micronaut Wish List.

i think its mostly based on what ship that got the most votes.
