1/100 French military oil tanker "Marne"

Hello I'd like to show you the construction of a French military oil tanker name "Marne". I built this model 8 years ago.

Truely superb detail Pierre

....amazing

.............maybe the 8 year old sequence is out with the final build images at the beginning, but the amount of detail is enormous....... Derek

it' true that this model is a bit old.Indeed back then I didn't share my builds. The photos are a bit mixed up.

That's outstanding work there Pierre.

The Marne looks similar in concept to the two 'Fort' class RFA's but with the engines aft rather than amidships. The 'citadel' in the hull centre looks VERY much like the Forts, which had their supply and fuel cranes controlled from there, plus a few other reasons too.........
