At 677 meters, the Schlactschiff forms the core of the Empire's formidable battlefleet in its long-running war against the Free Planet's League. Vast numbers of this powerful unit make up the heart of each of its numerous battlefleets.

This is the Alba Creates resin kit of the Imperial Battleship from Legend of the Galactic Heroes (Ginga Eiyu Densetsu). Like the Brunhild, the Battleship kit included white metal detail parts. It was painted in Testor's acryl and enamels. RLM Swarzgrau was used as the base coat, and a lightened mix was sprayed into the middle of panels to emphasize the size and panel lines. Details were picked out with steel paint and line markers.
