About product

Jean Bart 1955 1:700 (Trumpeter)

Injection-molded plastic kit of the French battleship Jean Bart as she was in 1955, in 1:700 scale from Trumpeter. The box allows the model to be built either as a full hull or as a waterline version thanks to the enclosed lower plate; it also contains decals and a display stand. The model captures the shape of the French battleship as completed after the war, with heavy gun and anti-aircraft armament.

The real subject

Jean Bart was a French battleship of the Richelieu class. In the Second World War she escaped unfinished to Casablanca, and her completion and modernization went on only after the war. She entered full service at the beginning of the 1950s as one of the last battleships completed anywhere in the world, with a main armament of 380 mm and a strong anti-aircraft battery. As she was in 1955 she therefore represents the closing era of the big gun ships.

Building and painting tips

Glue the plastic with thin cement and work in subassemblies. Decide in advance on the full-hull or the waterline version. Apply a primer before painting and put the paint on with an airbrush; postwar French ships tended to carry a lighter gray scheme. Pick out the deck and the superstructures with a panel line and restrained weathering, and fine-tune the small armament at the end.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of French warships
  • Anyone interested in postwar battleships and the Richelieu class
  • Ship modelers working in the popular 1:700 scale
  • Builders who want the choice between a full-hull and a waterline version

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Yes. Thanks to the enclosed lower plate, Jean Bart can be built either as a full-hull model on the stand or as a waterline model on a water surface.

It is the French battleship Jean Bart of the Richelieu class as she was in 1955, one of the last battleships completed anywhere in the world.

In 1:700 scale it is a smaller model, but with the number of small parts it is better suited to at least moderately advanced modelers.
