Historic Richelieu 1943 Replica in 1/700 Scale

The Trumpeter 05750 model represents the French battleship Richelieu after its 1943 refit, including added radar arrays and reinforced anti-aircraft batteries. At 1/700 scale the kit balances detailed parts with manageable assembly for modellers who appreciate period accuracy.

Launched in 1939, Richelieu saw varied wartime service and later dockyard work in Brooklyn where its defences were upgraded with 40mm Bofors and 20mm Oerlikons. This kit reflects those wartime modifications, giving builders the components needed to recreate the vessel's mid-war appearance faithfully.

  • Scale: 1:700
  • Length: 355.5 mm
  • Width: 48.5 mm
  • Total Plastic Parts: 366 pieces
  • Decal Marking: 1943
  • Total Sprues: 14, plus lower hull, upper hull, decks, waterline plate, and display stand

Will the kit fit into common diorama scales?

At 1/700 scale the model integrates well with other naval and harbour diorama elements in the same scale, allowing realistic scenes without scaling issues.

How long does assembly typically take?

Assembly time varies with experience; a careful build with painting and weathering can take several weekends, while a basic build may be completed more quickly.

Are replacement decals available if needed?

Replacement decal sheets or aftermarket markings can be sourced from specialist suppliers if the original set is damaged or if alternate insignia are preferred.
