Are you looking for a ship that's as close to Battlestar Galactica at FT scale, or B5 ships?? If BG, no, I don't, not offhand. If B*5* ships...there were a bunch. Operative word here is 'were'. :-( Mk

Oh, and Comet also make a very nice (but complex) multi-part kit of an SW Star Destroyer in ideal FT size, about 4-5" long; this is also highly unlicensed, it comes in a plain blue packaging with no maker's ID at all (and I've even known them to deny it is theirs, Lucasfilms have BIG lawyers :)). Comet's attitude to licensing is a bit hypocritical - they happily make unlicensed stuff themselves, then threaten dire legal retribution (in their adverts!) on anyone pirating any of their own stuff! Oh well..... Comet are at 44-48 Lavender Hill, London SW11 5RH, UK; tel: (+44) 171 228 3702. I don't know what their overseas mailorder service is like, but they quote 40% P&P to the US in their adverts. The metal ships are all part of their "Minimetals" line, which also contains loads of other models of ships and vehicles from SF series/movies, (Aliens, Star Wars, Star Trek, 2001, all the Gerry Anderson series etc), sadly not all in usable scales.
