Here are a few facts about the LCM 3:

-The U.S. WWII LCM(3) stood for “Landing Craft, Mechanized Mark 3” and was designed to transport tanks, vehicles, and troops directly onto beaches during amphibious assaults.
-The LCM(3) was developed from earlier landing craft designs and became one of the most widely used mechanized landing craft of World War II.
-It was approximately 50 feet long and built with a shallow draft, allowing it to operate close to shore in difficult coastal waters.
-The craft could carry a 30-ton load, including vehicles such as the M4 Sherman tank, trucks, artillery pieces, or around 60 troops.
-Power came from two diesel engines, giving the LCM(3) a top speed of roughly 8 knots depending on load and sea conditions.
-A large front bow ramp allowed vehicles and soldiers to quickly unload directly onto enemy beaches during invasions.
-The LCM(3) played a major role in famous amphibious operations including the Normandy Landings, Pacific island assaults, and Mediterranean campaigns.
-The vessel’s armored wheelhouse and steel hull offered limited protection against small arms fire and battlefield hazards.
-Thousands of LCM(3)s were produced by American shipyards during the war because of their simple, rugged, and highly effective design.
-After World War II, many surviving LCM(3)s continued serving with the U.S. military and allied nations for decades in transport and riverine operations.

Here is our 1/2400th scale model of the French BB Bretagne as she looked during WWII.

The French battleship Bretagne was the lead ship of the Bretagne-class dreadnought battleships built for the French Navy before World War I. Commissioned in 1915, Bretagne represented France’s effort to modernize its fleet during the naval arms race of the early twentieth century. The ship displaced over 23,000 tons and was armed with ten powerful 340mm main guns mounted in five twin turrets. It also carried numerous secondary guns and anti-aircraft weapons, making it a formidable warship for its time.

During World War I, Bretagne mainly served with the French Mediterranean Fleet, helping contain the Austro-Hungarian Navy in the Adriatic Sea. Although it saw limited direct combat, the battleship played an important strategic role in maintaining Allied naval superiority in the Mediterranean.

By the beginning of World War II, Bretagne was considered outdated compared to newer battleships, but it still served in the French fleet. Its career came to a tragic end on July 3, 1940, during the British attack on the French fleet at Mers-el-Kébir in Algeria. Fearing the ships might fall into German hands after France’s surrender, British forces opened fire. Bretagne exploded after being hit and quickly sank, with heavy loss of life among its crew.

Drones are mentioned in the news daily these days, and we often have customers who ask if we make any drones. Yes, we make a few. This is our 1:285th/6mm MQ-9 Reaper. Do you have any personal experience with the MQ-9 Reaper? Any other drones?

https://www.ghqmodels.com/products/mq-9-reaper?_pos=1&_sid=fed338159&_ss=r

The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper is one of the most advanced unmanned combat aerial vehicles used by the United States military and several allied nations. Developed by General Atomics, the MQ-9 Reaper evolved from the earlier MQ-1 Predator drone and was designed for both reconnaissance and precision strike missions. First introduced in the early 2000s, the aircraft quickly became an important part of modern military operations.

The MQ-9 Reaper is powered by a turboprop engine that allows it to fly at speeds of over 250 miles per hour and remain airborne for more than 24 hours. Equipped with advanced cameras, radar systems, and infrared sensors, the drone can gather intelligence and track targets in day or night conditions. It is operated remotely by crews located far from the battlefield.

One of the Reaper’s most notable features is its ability to carry weapons such as AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and laser-guided bombs. This combination of surveillance capability and firepower makes it highly effective against enemy forces and terrorist targets. The MQ-9 Reaper has played a major role in conflicts in the Middle East and continues to shape the future of aerial warfare.

It's hard to find a post-1950 layout that doesn't have a few places for this model. These add so much life, and activity to a lot of different scenes. This is our HO-Scale (1/87th) Red Tractor with Loader, model it with the bucket up...or down.

What do you think of this model of a 50's era tractor? Do you have a few places that you would like to put one of these? How do you like the way that this model is detailed?

The Israelis have always been very clever at taking some older equipment, and upgunning it into a very effective weapon system. This is our 1/285th (6mm) M3 with Twin 20mm AA, also known as the M3 TCM-20. what do you think of this M3 variant? What do you think about the Israeli program of upguning to create new weapons? Do you have a favorite?

https://www.ghqmodels.com/products/m3-w-twin-20mm-aa?_pos=1&_sid=576fcfcb0&_ss=r

The Israeli M3 TCM-20 was a unique self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle developed during the Cold War by the Israeli Defense Forces. It combined the American-built M3 half-track chassis from World War II with the Israeli-designed TCM-20 turret system. The vehicle was created after Israel realized that older .50 caliber anti-aircraft guns were no longer powerful enough against faster modern aircraft.

The TCM-20 turret was based on the American Maxson anti-aircraft mount, but instead of four Browning machine guns, Israeli engineers installed two 20 mm Hispano-Suiza HS.404 autocannons. Many of these cannons were recycled from retired Israeli Air Force aircraft, making the system both practical and cost-effective. The guns had a high rate of fire and could engage low-flying aircraft, helicopters, and lightly armored ground targets.

Mounted on the reliable M3 half-track, the vehicle had good mobility and could keep up with armored formations across rough terrain. Although lightly armored and open-topped, the M3 TCM-20 was valued for its versatility and firepower. Israeli forces used it during the War of Attrition, the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and later conflicts in Lebanon.

The M3 TCM-20 eventually became obsolete as jet aircraft became faster and missile-based air defense systems replaced gun vehicles. However, it remains an important example of Israeli military innovation, combining surplus foreign equipment with locally developed upgrades to create an effective battlefield weapon. Today, surviving examples can still be seen in museums and military collections in Israel.
