Armour M1 Combat Car Masters of Military via Shapeways. You have to add your own turret MGs. ![]() M2 Combat Car Masters of Military via Shapeways.

Really gives the model character. ![]() ![]() M2A1 Medium A 3D-printed model from Masters of Military of the early US medium tank. I realize now that this item suffered from some inadvertent spray.

Perhaps on two produced. Model is from Kaja, and while it lacks many details of the original, it is still a very cool model. ![]() ![]() ![]() M32 Armored Recovery Vehicle ISM model (missing several bits) ![]() A much better version, complete with all the parts (plus some I made myself...) ![]() ![]() Another Version ![]() ![]() M31 ARV GHQ Model ![]() ![]() Sherman "Aunt Jemima" Mine Clearing Vehicle From Masters of Military ![]() ![]() |

Infantry GHQ Infantry A horde of infantry from GHQ -- variously from the Infantry pack, Infantry #2 pack, and the heavy weapons pack. A full regiment of infantry, lacking the support weapons (for now) ![]() Rifle Platoons ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A Platoon-Scale Rifle Company ![]() Command and Recon Teams ![]() 60mm Mortar Teams ![]() Bazooka Teams From the GHQ Light AT Pack, with a brick wall from CinC. ![]() ![]() ![]() The older single-casting GHQ bazooka team, which still comes in the US Armored Infantry Combat Command ![]() GHQ Heavy Weapons The following weapon teams are from GHQ's US Heavy Weapons pack. They are older and smaller than the current line up of GHQ infantry, but currently, all they offer for medium machine guns and 81mm mortars. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() CinC Machine Gun Teams These are from their "Squad Leader" range, and are a good addition to any US force, given the lack of an equivalent GHQ model. ![]() ![]() Heroics & Ros US Heavy Weapons H&R actual offers a couple of heavy weapons sprues, which contain a wide variety of US heavy weapons. The casting is not great, but they are very useful models. .30 Caliber Machine Gun Teams ![]() Engineers ![]() .50 Caliber Anti-Aircraft Guns ![]() 81mm Mortars ![]() Bazooka Teams ![]() ![]() US Marine Corps Infantry GHQ models, not yet mounted on bases. The models come from both the infantry and heavy weapons pacts. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Aircraft P-40C ISM model, really quite nice ![]() ![]() P-40D Excellent CinC model ![]() ![]() P-40J/K ISM Model of late Warhawk ![]() ![]() P-47 Thunderbolt ISM's P-47s, which come (came?) complete with a ground-attack loadout. Lots of decals from I-94 and GHQ. ![]() ![]() ![]() Alternate paint scheme. Should have used decals for the nose; looks good at a distance but bad close up. ![]() P-47D Razorback A fantastic model from CinC -- assembles easily and looks great. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() P-47 "Bubbletop" CinC model ![]() P-51 Mustangs Repainted Scotia(?) models I got off eBay. Didn't come out very well. Decals, which are not very good, are from GHQ. ![]() ![]() Same model, different paint jobs ![]() ![]() ![]() ISM model ![]() ![]() ![]() GHQ Version ![]() P-38 Lightning A pretty good model from H&R, complete with I-94's specialized P-38 declas ![]() ![]() P-38s A less good model from Scotia's CollectAir line. A significantly smaller model than the H&R version, perhaps as small as 1/330 or so. ![]() ![]() ![]() ISM P-38 ![]() ![]() P-39 Airacobra GHQ model ![]() Brewster Buffalo H&R model of early war aircraft. First are colors used by USMC in defense of Midway, second is USN pre-war scheme ![]() ![]() ![]() SBD Dauntless Skytrex (I believe) model ![]() ![]() ISM Version ![]() ![]() F3F Wildcat A very fine model from Raiden, now put out by I-94 Enterprises. They also make the decals that adorn the side, which are specific markings for squadrons -- quite a nice touch. ![]() The ISM Version ![]() ![]() F4U Vought Corsair Plastic model from Yujin, quite a good one ![]() ![]() ISM Version ![]() ![]() F6F Wildcat Another plastic model from Yujin, quite nice ![]() ![]() This is the Raiden version, not quite as good but still quite serviceable. ![]() ISM Version ![]() ![]() P-61 Black Widow A really bad model in very soft lead from Skyraider ![]() B-25 Mitchell A fine model from CinC, of absolute exquisite manufacture. Construction of the multi-part model was reasonable, rather than horrifying (as has been the case with other CinC aircraft). Final model is quite good, though the props are rather fragile. In real life, the black wash does a better job showing off the panel lines, which are well-etched. ![]() A model of a later version from H&R. I attempted to paint a toothed grin on the nose, to little effect. Playing card decal is from I-94. ![]() ![]() ISM B-25 I should have tried to add brass wire guns. ![]() ![]() This guy is a bit different. It is a pre-painted plastic item that comes in a pack of 6 for about $10. Its actually 1/350 (officially, seems smaller than that though). Overall, a pretty good early B-25 model, which would likely be better with a light wash of black paint to highlight the cockpit detail and other indentations. Also, the rear turret would do well painted silver. ![]() ![]() B-26 Marauder A decent model from ISM. I used brass wire to add the machine guns, which really added to the overall quality of the finish. Decals are from I-94. ![]() ![]() ![]() Another version, without the guns ![]() ![]() B-17s The model on the left is a plastic one from Yujin, the other is the B-17E from ISM ![]() ![]() This shot shows some of the cool decals from I-94 -- the big bomber tail markers and the playing card symbol on the nose. ![]() B-24 Liberator I believe the manufactuer is Skywarrior/Skyraider, but I'm just not sure. I added the prop hubs, made from plastic rod, and the machine guns, made with brass wire. The model was really poorly cast, and required a ton of filling with GW's Liquid Green Stuff (with requisite snading) to make serviceable. The decals are from a specific set made for B-24s, but I can't recall the manufacturer off hand. ![]() ![]() C-47 Dakota Excellent and reasonably priced model of the key allied transport from Raiden Miniatures. Decals are from I-94 and the Luftwaffe '46 range. ![]() ![]() A far worse model from an unknown manufacturer. In truth, I'm not even sure it is a C-47... ![]() ![]() Waco Gliders H&R models, with plastic card struts ![]() ![]() Martin B-10 A key part of the US Army Air Corps bomber fleet in the 1930s, complete with my rather sad attempt at a period paint scheme. Model is from Shapeways, and done in White, Strong & Flexible (Polished). The polishing costs on a bit more, but is well worth it. ![]() ![]() Here is the Dutch version, which served in the Dutch East Indies in 1942. I included it here because a) I don't have a Dutch WWII section and b) it mainly worked with the US. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
