NAC Furious Escort Cruiser

Here is the NAC Furious escort cruiser. It is one of the most common ships in the NAC fleet and is used for both escort and patrol duties. It comes in torpedo armed and salvo missile armed variants. Painting this ship was relatively straightforward. Start with a white basecoat, add a black wash, follow with a white drybrush, then pick out the details with white.

NAC Huron Light Cruiser

Here is the second of the 2 posts today, the Huron light cruiser. From Fleet Book 1, the Huron is a rebuild of the earlier Hoshino class light cruiser.  Because of the lack of a replacement CL design, the Huron was a result of a study to extend the operational life of the Hoshino. It turned out better than expected. Primarly armed with beam weapons, it is also the smallest NAC ship to support screens for defense.

NAC Ticonderoga Destroyers

I apologize in the delay in posting. I have been on vacation for the past week and work has been keeping me busy. To compensate, this will be the first of 2 post today. We'll start with the NAC Ticonderoga destroyer. One of the older destroyer types in the NAC fleet. The class is primarily armed with beam weapons and PDS. This ship was painted with a white basecoat followed by a black wash then a white drybrush. Details were then picked out (such as the engines). The NAC emblem was then painted on. A relatively straigtforward color scheme.

NAC Tacoma Heavy Frigate

One of the newer ships in the NAC fleet. A good all around ship. There is also a anti-fighter and torpedo variant of this ship.

NAC MInerva Frigates.

A refit of the older Miyazaki class frigates, the Minerva is designed for close support. A variant exists which replaces some of the beam weapons with point defense systems. This allows the ship to provide close anti-fighter support for convoy escorts or in a fleet. A relatively straightforward ship to paint.

NAC Arapaho Corvette

Here are a trio of NAC Arapaho corvettes. A relatively weak ship, however has some armor to improve its survivability. It is armed with beams and occasionally a submunition pack. Ships were painted using a white basecoat followed by a black wash and highlighted with white. Details were painted and finally, the NAC emblem was added.

NAC Harrison Scoutship

According to Fleet Book 1, the NAC employ primarily multi-role ships in their fleet. Ships are armed with a mix of beams, pulse torpedoes and salvo missiles. Defensively, the rely on screens and their ships are relatively mobile. Here are the scouts of the NAC fleet, the Harrison class. It is primarily used for courier and recon duties. An older design that relies more on armour rather than speed in combat.
