Today sees the release of some more models in the ever popular Aeronef range. This is a game that has been around for over a decade and a half but still has very strong sales every year.<\/p>\n

\"ReleaseFeb2015\"<\/p>\n

The largest model in this release is the Austro-Hungarian von Parseval<\/a> dig battleship (for those not familiar with the terminology, a ‘dig’ is shorthand for dirigible – a hydrogen-filled airship). Giant airships are used to terrorise opposing populations as they fill the skies and rain bombs down on innocent civilians. The resin-cast gasbag is over 4″ long, making it almost as large as the German Schleswig-Holstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The other two models come from the other side of the Atlantic, with the addition of the Tamandare<\/a> torpedo cruiser and Paran\u00e1<\/a> class frigate to the Brazilian fleet.<\/p>\n

VAN-712<\/a> – von Parseval class Dig Battleship – \u00a36.00
\nVAN-807<\/a> – Tamandare class Torpedo Frigate – \u00a32.00
\nVAN-808<\/a> – Paran\u00e1 class Frigate – \u00a30.75<\/p>\n

If you haven’t yet been seduced by the delights of Aeronef, we have a number of starter packs<\/a> available with different fleets as an inexpensive way to introduce yourself to the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
