Brigade: Angelsharks und Spanische Flugschiffe

Nicht zu Lande, nicht ins Wasser, Nein, nur in die Luft gehen die neuen Minischiffe von Brigade Models.

A couple of weeks ago we released our new 6mm PacFed models – or at least we thought we did. It turns out that we missed one, accidentally leaving out the Angelshark VTOL from the list of new models.

So today we’ve rectified that oversight and added it to the website alongside the rest of the range. There are in fact two versions of the Angelshark, the original one and a new one with gatlings in the wing pods in place of the missile launchers – although admittedly at this scale you have to look quite closely to spot the difference between them.

SF300-704 – Angelshark with Missiles – £1.00
SF300-704a – Angelshark with Gatlings – £1.00

We’ve been promising the Spaniards for a while, and we’re rather pleased with them now they are here. The designs are based on a prototype Phil made many years ago, but which was damaged by the vulcaniser when we tried to mould it. These new versions are all digitally designed to the same standards as all our new Aeronef models and feature separate turrets. The two capital ships have resin hulls while the rest of the parts are pewter. The design theme is ships with heavy broadsides but little in the way or forward or aft guns – something that could be thought of as a bit of a design flaw… The battleship and battlecruiser have raised walkways over the gun decks and recessed secondary armament in the fore- and stern castles.

Packs will also be available – Fleet Pack #1 has 2 x 1701, 2 x 1703, 2 x 1706 while pack #2 has 2 x 1702, 2 x 1704, 2 x 1705 and 2 x 1708. The torpedo flotilla has 2 x 1707 and 4 x 1709. All include bases.
