Universal Fleet Overwatch (UFO)

Airfix has a surprise (April Fools) announcement, although I reckon it would do okay if it was released!

A50203 Universal Fleet Overwatch

Crewed by none other than Merp himself, the Universal Fleet Overwatch (UFO) has intercepted our 2025 space range!

Flying in from another dimension, featuring at a skill level 1, the 1:144 Universal Fleet Overwatch (UFO) has teleported into the 2025 space range. After months of top-secret development, the Airfix design team, led by an intergalactic visionary known only as Merp, has worked tirelessly to create a UFO unlike any seen before. Drawing inspiration from some of Airfix’s most iconic kits, the model features recognisable parts from the Ferret, Sea King, and Me410, ingeniously reimagined to form the perfect flying saucer.

But that’s not all! We’re embracing the future of model-making by offering the UFO as a 3D-printable kit, allowing enthusiasts to download, print, and build their own alien craft from home.

"Our mission was simple: create a UFO kit worthy of Earth’s greatest modellers,” said Merp. “We’ve taken inspiration from classic Airfix designs, ensuring a nostalgic yet futuristic build. And with the power of 3D printing, we’re giving Earthlings complete control over their interstellar fleet."

   
The Universal Fleet Overwatch: A transcendent masterpiece of extraterrestrial engineering, far beyond the capabilities of humanity’s most ambitious aspirations. Conceived eons ago, by an alliance of hyper-advanced civilisations, it exists as the ultimate guardian of the interstellar order, effortlessly monitoring the galaxy and neutralising threats with precision that human ingenuity could never replicate. Its technology is incomprehensible to human understanding – adaptive stealth systems render it undetectable, hyper-intelligent navigation AI charts the cosmos with the flawless accuracy, and its weaponry can obliterate entire fleets with a mere flicker of energy. To humanity, the Overwatch is not just a sentinel – it is an overwhelming force of awe and supremacy, a towering reminder of the chasm between their nascent species and the civilisations that shaped the galaxy.
