La Reale


An absolute chance find on Vinted, I've been scouring webshops and ebay for this kit for a long while (since about starting my 1/350 Renaissance naval project). It is an old and opened box, but it contains everything I need.


I'll complete her as a waterline model and of course I'll replace the ungainly plastic sails with printed ones, and add crew to the deck. Nominally 1/450 scale, the model is rather large, a little bit larger even than my Lanterna.  So she'll either be an Ottoman or Imperial flagship instead of a Royal French one. 

With limited hobby time on my hands, it is way easier to focus on these one-offs than anything larger. So I might just purchase some Revell Santa Marias and Airfix Mary Roses as well. They are all good for my Block Galleys rules or Galleys & Galleons.
