VENDEMIAIRE
A
Floréal class frigate
This model of the Floreal class frigate is our fourth-generation standard.
For our fifth-generation that was started in
2019, please click here:
USS John Finn.
All of our aircraft carriers built after 2019 are
fifth-generation.
The Vendémiaire is a light
monitoring frigate of the French Marine Nationale.
She is the fifth ship of the Floréal class ship
which is small, extremely stable to allow use of a
heavy helicopter in all weather. This ship
class has small crew but has the capacities to
accommodate navy commandos, light armament, economic
and long-range propulsion system.
Vendémiaire was deployed to
East Timor as part of the Australian-led INTERFET
peacekeeping taskforce from 20 September to 17
November 1999. The ship went on a tour
of Chinese ports in 2011, stopping at Canton, Chiang
Tao, Hong Kong and Shanghai. It was opened to
the public 17-4-11 in Hong Kong.
We offer this
primarily wood model of the
Floreal class model in three
sizes:
18.5" long (1/220 scale)
25" long (1/144 scale)
37" (1/100 scale)
Models are built per commission only. We require only
a small deposit (not full amount, not even half) to start the process. The
remaining balance won't be due until the model is
completed, in
several months.
