I spent some time and money checking out GHQ, Perrin or Minifigs for my troop movement train. I found GHQ to be superior in molding, detail and minimal flash. However, I think that GHQ is more for the military modeler doing a vignette or scene versus filling up a model military train... why? Cost, it's just too much. Minifigs are very inexpensive, but moldings and lots of flash and clean up are required. So Perrin is my choice, for a number of reasons. Price... A package of two tanks, DUKs, trucks, and other vehicles is $6. A package of four jeeps is also $6. Flash is minimal too, however, not as clean a molding as GHQ. Now I'm going to model the movement of a Tank Battalion Headquarters Company, Company A (medium) and possibly Company D (light). That gives me 21 or so M4 Sherman tanks, 18 M5 Stuarts, and assorted halftracks, trucks, and such. I'm using the Organization & Equipment listing for the 752nd Tank Battalion for reference. Should be good... Marc in Madison, WI
