About product

Escorteurs Rapides E 50 - a French escort in 1:400

This kit from the French brand Heller brings the E 50 fast escort ships to the popular ship scale of 1:400. It comes from Heller's traditional naval line, which has long concentrated on vessels of the French Navy. Once assembled and painted, you get the slim, elegant silhouette of a postwar escort, a subject that turns up only rarely among ship kits.

The real subject

The E 50 escorteurs rapides, known after the lead ship as the Le Corse class, were built in the 1950s for the French Navy. They were fast anti-submarine escorts of the Cold War era, drawing on the experience of the Battle of the Atlantic: their job was escorting convoys and patrolling coastal waters, which their rich anti-submarine armament reflects.

Building and painting tips

At 1:400 it is the cleanliness of the work that counts. Paint the small sub-assemblies while they are still on the sprue, and leave the masts and aerial rigging until the very end. The hull suits finely shaded tones of gray, the deck a light wash to bring out its detail. Dry-fit the superstructures beforehand so that you can check how they sit without any trace of glue.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of warships in a single 1:400 scale
  • Anyone interested in the postwar French Navy
  • Modelers after a less usual subject among escorts
  • Builders with basic experience of ship kits
