Anyone able to tell me please if the Fed strike cruiser uses the same secondary hull casting as the battlecruiser? Basically, is it the same mini with just a different saucer? Or does the strike cruiser have a different secondary as well?
Thanks

The strike cruiser and battlecruiser do have two different hulls.
The BC rear hull is about the same as the CA rear hull in length (maybe a bit longer) and has angled warp pylons. It also has four phasers underneath (all the 360 phasers).
The strike cruiser hull is slightly smaller and has rectangular warp pylons. It also has two phasers on the top (the RH phasers) and two below (the 360 phasers).
Here are some photos (shameless plug of my minis):

And here's one that I used the CC saucer on, but the rear hull is the stock one:

Excellent, thank you for the pics.
I confess that I hadn't noticed that difference with the shape of the pylons.
