The final phase of our British Aeronef replacement programme is a new fighter carrier model. This is the Furious<\/strong>, a two-deck vessel which carries up to 18 fighters. The model is resin hulled with a separate full-length metal flight deck and other bits. The main hangar deck is visible from the end and sides, so we’re looking forward to seeing lots of aerial mini-dioramas of the interior.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Furious carries two new types of fighter aircraft – the Fitton SE-32 Scout biplane fighter, and Thornton Aviation’s TA-7 2-seat pusher heavy fighter. Both new models will also be available at Salute.<\/p>\n

The fourth new British Aeronef is the Ark Royal, an Airship tender. Based on a commercial merchant hull, this has a massive blimp hangar amidships and a decent light cruiser armament in two forward turrets.<\/p>\n

VAN-122 – SE-32 Fitton Scout (x6) – \u00a31.25

\nVAN-124 – Furious Class Fighter Carrier – \u00a38.50
