The Ship Model Forum

Hello!
AT LAST! Two new ship kits are available from l'Arsenal 2.0 of France:

1:400 scale French frigate Georges Leygues
Resin, PE, turned brass, 3D prints

http://www.larsenal.com/fregate-georges ... 2x16420205



Leading ship of a series of seven ASW frigates, the Georges Leygues stood in service in the French Navy ranks for about thirty years and was decommissioned in 2014.
The upcoming 1/400 model from L'Arsenal has been CAD designed, with prototype parts printed with the best 3D printers on the market. The kit includes many resin and PE parts, it will be possible to put the stern sonar in either stored or deployed position, and a very realistic Lynx helicopter is provided.

The kit represents the frigate as commissioned, it is scheduled to release the other versions in the months to come.

The kit comes with a full 3D printed forward mast and radar:

I will come to see you at the weekend Bruno. I am excited to see the Hunt especially. That is right in the middle of my area of interest

Thanks James, but I won't attend Telford this year, so you'll meet with "the Boss" (a.k.a. Mélaine) and plenty of Hunt kits.
BTW: when designing the two page instructions with camouflage profiles I tried to stick to the most probable colours and I almost exclusively used your new range of reference as samples for my drawings... even by "picking" the correct shades on your website to past to my profiles. Your classification by period helped me so much... a big thank to you and your work.

I plan to attend Telford by 2021 with plenty of new RN subjects under the l'Arsenal 2.0 banner.
Enjoy your week end.
