DescriptionThe French ‘Surcouf’ submarine cruiser was in operation during the Second World War and was one of the largest vessels of its type at the time. Designed for prolonged time at sea, the Surcouf was eventually lost 1942 when it was presumed to have collided with a freighter. She was originally intended to the first in a class of similar vessels, but was the only one ever built. The design was geared towards surface combat and conduct reconnaissance missions.This is a lovely, detailed model of a very unique vessel that’s great for intrepid amateurs and enthusiasts alike. With 60 pieces, which are relatively small, it requires patience and a steady hand to assemble and paint. But when complete, the result is a faithful recreation of the Surcouf which will be a great addition to any model collection.Age: 14 Length: 31cmPieces: 60
