3788 Scale Kzinti New Heavy Scout Cruiser (NSC) SR

The Kzintis are a species of eight-foot-tall felines; the Klingons call them “tigermen.” They are adjacent to the Federation (and have fought two major wars with them, losing both) and the Klingons (and have fought several wars with them, winning a few and losing a few). Kzinti ships are armed with disruptors, phasers, and drones. They have more drones on their standard warships than any other empire, and forests of phaser-3s, because their ships are designed to fight each other. (They have had more civil wars than foreign wars.) They are enemies of the Klingons and Lyrans and allies of convenience with the Hydrans and Federation.

Intended to match the Klingon D6S Heavy Scout Cruiser, the New Heavy Scout Cruiser was built as a conversion of an existing Medium Scout Cruiser since newly built New Heavy Cruiser hulls were needed for other things. The conversion was difficult [as were all Kzinti medium cruiser-to-new heavy cruiser conversions due to the manner of the upgrade] and only two such ships were produced as they were deemed too expensive.

The ship is available in a variety of materials. Ships are unpainted, use standard flight stands available from many sources, and, while designed for gaming, make fine display pieces.
