Brigade Models announces:

Today we have the new Shikishima-class battleship for the Japanese Space Force, which we originally released at Salute, and is now available on our website. It follows a similar design to our other Japanese ships, with a large habitation ring around the fuselage, and turrets spaced around the hull. Owners of our previous vessels will be pleased to know that we've tweaked the ring design slightly to make it a better fit.

Shikishima battleship (l) and Verdun carrier

As an added bonus, we also have a new EuroFed fleet carrier, the Verdun. This should also have been on the Salute roster, but for various reasons (we made a mistake with the design and caught it too late to fix for the show) didn't make it on the day. It's of a similar size to the Richelieu dreadnought (almost 5" long) with twin flight decks and an offset bridge module.

SFS-1502 – Shikishima class Battleship – £10.00 GBP
SFS-415 – Verdun class Fleet Carrier – £12.00 GBP
