As promised, the British are the latest Aeronef fleet to start receiving upgrades (this was supposed to happen at the end of last year, but the arrival of the Slammers Regiment delayed things a little). The first of the old models to be replaced is the Victoria class Heavy Battleship with its three large triple-gun turrets and pair of carried E-8 torpedo boats. In keeping with our other new Aeronef, the new model has a resin hull and separate metal fittings, including turrets, masts and funnels. Accompanying the Victoria is the all-new Albert class Battleship, which shares a basic hull plan but exchanges the torpedo boats for an extra main turret. Phil had always planned to make this model when we released the original Victoria, and his grand design is now finally a reality.
The Victoria's E-8 torpedo boats are now available separately in sets of three for £1.50 GBP. They have also been redesigned to the same standard as their parent craft. And while we were at it, it made sense to redesign the other two British small craft since they can all share a mold. So the Stingray torpedo nef and Abingdon patrol nef have had a makeover too – both are also now sold in threes, although the price per model (£0.50 GBP) remains the same as before.
We've created a new fleet pack, the imaginatively-named British Fleet Pack #4, which contains a Victoria, an Albert, and six escort vessels. The British Torpedo Flotilla has been slightly changed – it now contains three Stingrays, three E-8s, and a Cossack frigate as flotilla leader, plus bases.
And finally, we also have packs of Imperial Skies acrylic laser-cut Altitude and Command markers. These were originally only available to Kickstarter supporters, and we've now had some sets made for new players.
