Next in the release queue this week is our pair of Ottoman Turk<\/a> airships for Imperial Skies<\/a>. The Barbaros battleship and Abdulmecid fighter carrier both replace old metal models with new resin designs based around the same twin-airbag hull.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Barbaros has a single large main turret, with a pair of secondary turrets in the lower superstructure and multiple light guns scattered around the hull. A pair of Barbaros plus escorts makes up our Turkish Dig Pack #2.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Abdulmecid is mostly flight deck, with a small bridge and main funnel on opposite sides of the for’d deck. The vessel is lightly armed with just defensive weaponry. An Abdulmecid plus fighter complement and escorts is available as our Turkish Carrier Pack.<\/p>\n
