Responsibility details are not available.
A plastic kit of the French escort aviso in the small 1:400 scale. Important for the purchasing decision: there is one ship kit in the package, not two. Both names in the title belong to sister vessels of the same class, so you will choose which of them you build. The hull is split lengthwise into two halves. This is a newer release of an older mold, which differs from the original in its decal sheet.
The Commandant Rivière was the lead unit of a class of nine French escort avisos, built at the end of the 1950s and the beginning of the 1960s for the protection of convoys and for combat against both aircraft and submarines. They were general-purpose ships for overseas service and the French Navy used them until the first half of the 1990s. The Victor Schoelcher was one of them: she was laid down in October 1957, entered service on 4 December 1962 and was later handed over by France to Uruguay, where under the name General Artigas she served until 2005. Some units of the class additionally received launchers for anti-ship missiles behind the funnel in the 1970s.
Decide on one vessel and one year before you start; the equipment differs between units and between periods. Fill and sand the lengthwise seam of the hull, as every irregularity shows on a smooth side. In 1:400 scale rigging and railings are the best investment: plastic parts are necessarily coarse and photo-etched railings transform the model entirely. Mask the dividing line of the waterline; do not spray it freehand.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not part of the package, unless stated otherwise.
