Following on from the arrival of the new Victoria and Albert<\/a> class battleships, the rest of the British capital ships get a similar makeover this week. The Agincourt and Benbow battleships plus the Audacious and Britannia battlecruisers have all been replaced by new resin-hulled models with separate turrets and metal parts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Benbow<\/strong>, the original of which was the first Aeronef model we ever made, has three twin turrets of a new design and carries several scout fighters launched from a catapult amidships.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Agincourt<\/strong> is the heaviest of this batch, does away with the aircraft and instead has four main turrets and a heavier secondary battery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Britannia<\/strong> battlecruiser has two main turrets, one triple and one twin, again of a new design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Audacious<\/strong> is similar to the Britannia but with two twin turrets and a four torpedo tubes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We’ve revamped the existing British fleet packs with the new models, including the British Grand Fleet pack. The two new turret types are also available in separate accessory packs.<\/p>\n
