The Trumpeter 05750 kit recreates the Richelieu in its 1943 refit form, including the enhanced anti-aircraft fit and radar installations added during service. The 1/700 scale makes this a detailed but compact project for enthusiasts focused on naval history and realistic small-scale modelling.
Originally launched in 1939, the Richelieu served in several operations before undergoing a major refit in the United States. During that refit 40mm Bofors and 20mm Oerlikons were fitted to strengthen air defence. This kit models those upgrades so builders can represent the ship's mid-war appearance accurately.
