21st Century US Military
This page focuses primarily on post-Cold War US units, primary Army, with a focus on the wars in Middle East. In general, if you don't see it here, it is probably on the other US modern page (this is particularly true with both fixed- and rotor-wing aircraft) |

Main Battle

GHQ M1A2 Post-Cold War version of the Abrams, an excellent model from GHQ. This one has a GHQ mine plow mounted and GHQ's NATO chevron decals. Same model in desert colors (and, amazingly enough, both machine guns) GHQ M1A2 GHQ M1A2 Abrams TUSK GHQs excellent new model of the recent M1A2 with the Tank Urban Survival Kit CinC M1A2 A good model, particularly as it comes with the option of including both a commander and a loader manning their machine guns. Baggage is made with bake-hard clay. Another version... M1A1 GHQ Model M1A1 CinC Model |
APCs & IFVs |
M2A3
Recent model from GHQ, and a fine one. I've added a fair bit of baggage sculpted out of clay. More versions, in a slightly lighter color Part of the recent GHQ Stryker Range. A fine set of models of the modern US APC widely used in Iraq. Another Version, with the headlights painted (though not always well...) Stryker Command Version Needs to have aerials added Stryker Mortar Carrier Stryker Assault Gun Another Version This version is done with a more "flat" paint scheme. I also tried to paint more details, but still missed the shovels. Stryker Cavalry Vehicle More Versions Stryker With Javelin GHQ Model Stryker Dragoon GHQ version of the newer Stryker variant Alternate Versions Of The Stryker Purely hypothetical, using spare hulls and turrets I had lying around M-ATV Terror War model from GHQ -- a fine model Cougar 6x6 Another Terror War model from GHQ Cougar 4x4 Four-whelel version of the above model |
Helicopters |
Fixed-Wing Aircraft |
YF-23 A resin model of the prototype that lost to the F-22 from GameCraft Miniatures. MQ-9 Reaper Shapeways model. I should have added ordnance, but there you go. |
Engineering
Vehicles |
M1 Assault Breacher New model from GHQ, comes with two types of plows M104 Wolverine Bridgelayer GHQ Model Buffalo EOD Explosive removal vehicle from GHQ -- a really impresive model. A big model, and very impressive looking. There was one outside Fed-Ex field in 2011 when I took my boy to see the Patriots play the Redskins. Stryker ESV The mine plow is extremely well detailed, but somewhat fragile. M728 AEV GHQ Model M105 Deuce A new model from GHQ |
Artillery |
M109A6 Paladin A fine GHQ model with added baggage GHQ MLRS HIMARS New GHQ models -- very cool M777 With FMTV Prime Mover Modern 155mm gun from GHQ, along with its regular prime mover. Crews are from GHQ. GHQ M106 In Desert Colors |
Air Defense Systems |
M7 Linebacker GHQ Model M163 GHQ model Patriot Launcher A fine model from GameCraft Miniatures. Now just waiting for them to release the radar unit... This is with a GHQ prime mover modified... HEMTT A3 Centurion Phalanx A very cool model from Masters of Military HEMTT L3 AHS HE Laser Not really an anti-air vehicle, but a cool model from Masters of Military nonetheless. |
Miscellaneous
Vehicles |
M577 CinC model in desert colors M88A1 Rehabbed GHQ Model HETS M1070 with M1000 Trailer A fine model from Shapeways, designed by Masters of Military. Truly rivals the best put out by any traditional manufacturer. This is the Gamecraft Miniatures version of the same model. Equally good, but significantly cheaper. |
Trucks, HMMWVs, Jeeps & FAVs |
HMMWVs CinC models with AGLs and baggage HMMWVs w/Add-On Armor GHQ Models FMTV GHQ model M1091 FMTV Tanker GHQ Model (I kind of botched the hazardous material symbol on the side; it looks better at a distance... sort of.) M1086 FMTV LWB Cargo Handler GHQ Model HEMTT Flat Bed GHQ model, conversion kit from Game Craft Miniatures HEMTT Gun Trucks Conversions of GHQ Models This is the GHQ version of the gun truck -- an excellent model, but includes no crew members.
