For this week’s new release, we have more additions to our ever-popular British spaceship fleet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"SFS-103\"<\/p>\n

\"SFS-103-3\"<\/p>\n

The Colossus class battleship is of similar size to the existing Churchill<\/a>, but instead of the latter’s all-round turret firepower, the Colossus has heavy fixed-forward armament comparable to the much larger Fisher<\/a> dreadnoughts. The model is supplied with the same weapon sprue as the Fisher, with optional Maser, Mass-driver or Torpedo weapons.<\/p>\n

\"ColossusRelease2\"<\/p>\n

\"ColossusRelease\"<\/p>\n

In addition, we’ve created a missile turret option for the existing Battleship and Heavy Cruiser models to create the Wellesley class Missile Battleship<\/a> and Kent class Missile Cruiser<\/a>. The turrets are also available separately<\/a> for conversions and scratchbuilding.<\/p>\n

SFS-100a<\/a> – Wellesley class Missile Battleship – \u00a37.50
\nSFS-103<\/a> – Colossus class Battleship – \u00a37.50
\nSFS-120a<\/a> – Kent class Missile Cruiser – \u00a33.50
