Trumpeter 05750 portrays the French battleship Richelieu as refitted in 1943, showing additions like modern radar and strengthened anti-aircraft batteries. The kit at 1/700 offers accurate external shapes and fittings that suit both dedicated modellers and museum-style displays.
Richelieu, launched in 1939, experienced a complex wartime career before receiving upgrades during a Brooklyn refit. The installation of 40mm Bofors and 20mm Oerlikons is reflected in the parts layout, providing authentic assemblies that represent the ship's improved defences in 1943.
