CHANDRAHASA / PINAKA CLASS DESTROYER
Lean, mean, and deadly, the Chandrahasa class Destroyer is a popular command amongst up-and-coming EarthFleet Captains eager to make a name for themselves.
Often organised into 'wolfpacks' of four gun-armed Chandrahas with two Pinakas providing missile support, these destroyers are a constant threat to Hamma'Lon convoys and isolated outposts.
Sporting cruiser-level Type-2 beam turrets, light torpedoes and a solid PDAF anti-fighter battery, the Chandrahasa class is repidly replacing the older Wildstar class in frontline EarthFleet Desrons. The Chandrahasas are named for swords and other hand weapons of heroes and deities of myth and legend.
The Pinaka class is a refit of the Chandrahasa hull, replacing the guns, turrets, and their massive capacitors with six rapid-reload ASM-23 Vixen missile launchers, and a massive search-and-direction radar. Like their sisters, the Pinakas are named for legendary weapons, in this case bows, javelins, and other missile weapons.
This is a 50mm long miniature of a space warship which comes in 5 parts, provided both supported and unsupported.
You can assemble both Chandrahasa and Pinaka class Destroyers from this set of parts.

As with all Miniature Martin releases, the Chandrahasa / Pinaka class Destroyer has been successfully test printed on an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro or Saturn printer.
NOTE: Caution when removing supports
When you print the supported hull for the Chandrahasa, take care removing the supports from the two small fins under the chin intake. It is recommended to wash the print, then before curing it, use a hairdryer to soften the supports before trimming them off with side-cutters.
Space Battleship Hachiman is a new series of miniatures set in an anime-style universe. Stay tuned for more releases soon!
