Part in-box review, part call for information, if such exists. I was lured by on-line posts of instructions and etch development to get this new release from ITA Shipyard and it�s really rather nice in the box. In fact, including the box. The parts come in a sturdy two part plastic box which would need great inventiveness from a postie to come to any harm in transit. The etch is safe in the bottom under a layer of protective foam and the smallest parts are within another sturdy box.
There�s the resin hull, what looks like both cast and 3-d detail parts, lots of etch, brass rod for masts and vinyl masks for pennant numbers - a first for me in a ship kit. At a little over 16cm it looks like it will build into something small but perfectly formed, but will undoubtedly be a challenge.
I know little about early twentieth century ships, still less about French ships, so any guidance for more information on this type would be very welcome.
