Can I ask a quick question? You've got two UN ships in one photo. Front looks
the same but the engine sections are different. Are these actually separate
models or is it down to you not sticking a couple of the engines on the
smaller one?

Are these The two engined ship is a superdreadnought SDN and the four engined one is an extended range superdreadnought (SDN-X). Having seen these ships in the flesh (so to speak) on Saturday and having bought the SDN-X, I can say that they look every bit as wonderful as the photos suggest. I'd say that the SDNs aren't as big as some people have thought (judging by the suggested stats posted earlier). Visually comparing them with the Jeanne D'Arc in the next display case, I'd say that the SDN-X wouldn't be a lot more massive and the SDN may be slightly smaller. And presumably the extra mass on the SDN-X would fuel, supplies, etc. rather than weaponry.

The overall lengths and widths of the models are large, but the individual sections are rather slender and most of the impression of size comes from the X-wing. > And presumably the extra mass on the SDN-X would fuel, Yes. In game terms, this Mass would be mostly cargo holds - or extra engines, making the SDN thrust 2 and the SDN-X thrust 4 :-/ Later,
