Nice pair of ships Mark! I really like the Jean Bart battleship

Thank you Tom!
Thank you Carlos! Yeah, I have the Richelieu built as well; unfortunately she's behind a bunch of boxes and such so getting the two together for a family photo is gonna be tough.

Do the words French and Battle really go in the same sentence...? 
Two great looking builds Mark!

Quite often no. But…. Jean Bart did fight a duel against USS Massachusetts at Casablanca during the Torch landings.

That's a good point Carlos. I couldn't help feeling for that French battleship; she was such a hard luck ship that I felt deserved better.

Bravo, Mark! I have to ask because I’ve never built a battleship… Are you painting the hull color and masking the black barrier line as well or is it a combination of a decal and hull red paint?? Both look very sharp to me, Mark.
Make more models!
