Yes, they are available, at a reasonable price (some 25 Deutschmarks, about 12
US$ at present exchange rates). Had a look at them, quite nice. At present
there are 3:

'Space Jet Glador', kind of a streamlined Millenium Falcon, scale about
1/72, suitable as a lander for Stargrunt
'Marco Polo', a spherical spaceship, nominally 500 m (IIRC) in diameter. Good
as as Dirtside Dropship. 'Sol' Big (Kilometers!) cylindrical spaceship. Model
is some 25 or so cm long. FT space station perhaps?

Announced An alien 'Blues' space ship, Flaing saucer shape. Possibly one more
model, details unknown.

I looked at Revell's 2000 US catalog last week at a hobby store and they had
couple pages of Perry Rhodan ships, pictures and everything. Maybe the are now
available in the US? Revell's web page is out of date so no info there.

   They can be seen at http://www.revell.de/katalog/index_a.html,
click on "Specials" and then on "PERRY RHODAN" in the list on the bottom.

Enjoy,

They're not available here in Australia, as far as I know.

The "Blue Ship" looks to be an excellent generic Flying Saucer - good as
a lander
in DS-2, a ship in FT, or even a fighter in SG.

While looking at http://www.revell.de I also had a look at the 1/72
modern infantry.

Saw (and got) the 'Blues' ship yesterday. Slightly cheaper than the others (20
DM instead of 25 DM). A fairly simple model consisting of top and lower side
of the disk, six legs and a few bits and pieces. Good surface details:
panelling, engines etc.

Size is some 20 cm diameter. A bit big for FT perhaps?

Should be easy to assemble. May need some skilled painting to look really
good - the model is so plain.

A nice set of decals for panels, engines etc. The alien inscriptions are in
three different character sets, one of them obviously Chinese, These translate
as 'Inner Guard'

Karl,

Where did you get the Blue Ship from? I've tried a couple of places, in the
US, and they say it is not available yet.

Enjoy,
