French 3D and resin kit producere L’Arsenal surprises the fans of naval kits with the upcoming release of a 1/400 AND 1/350 scale version of France’s sole aircraft carrier, the nuclear-powered PA Charles de Gaulle – and puts a fierce competitor on the market for the Heller rendition.

For whom wanted excellent upgrade and detail sets of both French and international naval kits, L’ Arsenal has been a delightful resource, even for fans of older stuff. The first time they did a full-scale kit of a French carrier, the Béarn, it was met with critical acclaim, and fueled the small company to up the stakes. This time, the stakes are at an all-time high with their upcoming release of the Charles de Gaulle, in 1/400 scale but also in the (slightly) bigger 1/350 scale range, meaning she is competing against the Heller version of the French capital ship, as well as entering the realm of big ship kits.

The release is one of incredible detail, and comes in 4 potential tiers:
Kit only in 1/400 or 1/350
Kit with hangar deck (currently on offer!) in both scales
Kit with air group (currently on offer!) in both scales
Kit with hangar deck and air group (currently on offer) in both scales.

And for the fans of a full deck, you can get additional sets of the air group machines in several versions!
