Superior Starfleets has a large ship that somewhat resembles a
battlestar.  
It is the Polecat, a Carnivore Super Galactic Dreadnought.  Has a much 
larger engine section than a battlestar and the mini is quite large, but

very detailed.

There's always the Comet miniatures battlestar too, which is in a good
scale 
for FT, but lacks detail and has some symetrical flaws.
