Detailed 1/350 Representation of the Danton Pre-Dreadnought

The Hobby Boss HB-86503 recreates the French Danton-class pre-dreadnought at 1/350 scale, offering accurate parts and a layout suitable for comprehensive detailing. Builders will find the kit well suited to period restorations and diorama projects.

Designed to capture the hallmarks of early 20th century battleship design, the model emphasises hull contours and superstructure features that distinguish the Danton class from later dreadnought-era vessels. The kit is ideal for those who enjoy painting, rigging and adding fine weathering effects.

  • Scale: 1/350
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires assembly and painting
  • Includes detailed decals for authenticity

How accurate is the hull detail on this kit?

The hull and major structural components are modelled with attention to historical lines, giving a faithful base for further detailing and painting.

What aftermarket upgrades work well with this kit?

Photo-etch railings, metal gun barrels and rigging sets are common upgrades to raise the level of detail; they require careful fitting but yield a more realistic finish.

Will the decals cope with heavy weathering?

Decals are robust when applied with appropriate setting solutions and clear coats; heavy weathering should be done after sealing decals to avoid damage.

Is rigging included or supplied separately?

Rigging is not supplied; many builders use fine thread or aftermarket rigging kits to replicate masts and signal lines accurately.

How long does assembly typically take?

Assembly time varies with skill and detailing level, but expect multiple sessions for careful gluing, painting and finishing to achieve a high quality result.
