Title: Aero tech Fighter Size
Post by: Commander Roj on 03 April 2023, 12:23:33 PM

One for the group mind. Does anyone know what size these aero tech fighters are?

If that hex-base is roughly the standard size, I'd reckon a single fighter should have a width of somewhere between 20 and 25mm?

Hmm. Probably a bit big for my needs. Lovely fighters though. Many thanks.

You looking for specific Aerotech/Battletech fighters?  If not, there are crap tons of smaller printed fighters on Etsy for games like Star Wars Armada for cheap (around $6USD for 12 fighters).  They're much smaller though.

Really appreciate you flagging that up, but I had already looked at Etsy.  The problem is shipping to the UK. So far, surprisingly, I haven’t found any fleet scale fighters made in the UK. If you see any, please let me know!

I see a ton of Etsy printers located in the UK, but you may have to find (or buy) the files and find someone willing to do a custom job for you.

If looking for fleet scale fighters.  Which I interpret as tiny fighters for starship type games look under the aerospace section of the battltech minis

Which brings me back to the first post. These are probably too small after all. Shame because they are great and easily accessible.
