Eaglemoss Horizon cargo vessel next to an Eaglemoss K-7 station
I wanted a larger cargo vessel for use in A Call To Arms Star Fleet. The original Mongoose version of ACTA Star Fleet has cargo vessels with LOTS of hull points. The newer ADB version of the rules cuts these hull points down dramatically. The way I see it that just doubles the number of types of cargo vessels plying the space lanes.

So I wondered whether or not the Eaglemoss ECS Horizon model would be suitable as a very large cargo freighter (as described in the Mongoose ACTA Star Fleet version of the rules) in comparison to 1:3788 and 1:3125 scale star ship miniatures.
The model was described as being 9cm in length on their website and so I took the punt and procured two of them to use as J-class freighters (i.e. a very large freighter in Mongoose ACTA Star Fleet speak).

As far as I can see it these are compatible. So they were a good buy and are highly detailed. Given that they seem to scale well enough with the 1:3788 (in my humble opinion) they will scale well also with the larger 1:3125 scale miniatures out there.
So there you go. Looking for a large freighter to act as a target for Orion Pirates? Look no further!
