I purchased this model of the Southampton class heavy cruiser H.M.S. Sheffield from Dave Lawrence in the U.S. It was originally built by Alan Olster from Florida. She was in my shipyard for about a year and a half and has been renamed H.M.S. Newcastle. Now sold to a new combat captain in New York state.
Class 3, 3units. Equiped with two 50 rnd. bb cannons, one in "B" turret and the other in "Y" turret and a full unit pump. Power is currently derived from one 6V 5Ah battery, but there is room for adding a Ni-Cd pack for the pump and/or a seperate battery pack for the radio. Newer JR 4ch Radio in excellent condition and charger. She is complete and ready to battle, just add one 6V 5ah battery, CO2 gas and add some bb's.
I am really not sure why I bought her to begin with as there's no real point in having two British heavy cruisers, especially of the same class! I have just turned my interest to the AXIS ships and bigger ships.
