Happy new year and Bonne année.
I 've choosen to build the "commandant l'Herminier" because one of my friend had be above his conscription at the end of the eightees on this boat . And few days ago, he gave me a challenge to complete it in a year.
Having make the small frigate "Prairial" at the scale 1/100 in 2003, I've never build another warship till "Commandant l'herminier".
The D'Estienne d'Orves-class, also known as the A69 type avisos, mainly designed for coastal anti-submarine defence, but are also available for high sea escort missions ( in support missions with the submarine boomer).
I can give you some indications :displacement 1250 t, lenght 260 ft, beam 34 ft and draught 17 ft.
photos of the beginning are coming

Hello !
Bonne année modélistique et "Bonne construction" - Good building !
midori gaoka:
Hello,
I'm cutting out the frames. As you can see I'm trying to empty them as much as I can. In fact the width is just 8 cm, so there is not much space to install motors, rudders, ect...

Bonne annee Midori!
I was looking at French WW2 warships in a Janes book last night and wondered about building one! So seeing this interesting project start is interesting.
I wish you well with your build and look forward to months of progress and pictures. You have a challenge fitting electrical 'gubbins' in that small a space, but there lots of miniaturised electrical components and power packs as well as powerful but small brushless motors, so I am sure it will all work out well. If you can do without power distribution systems you will save space. M-troniks ESCs and Mixers are quite small.
