    Understood now what they are made of, excellent craftsmanship.

  7. I do love the French torpilleurs and this is a superb rendition of one. Have you done a contre-torpilleur?

  8. the "Fougueux" is a contre-torpilleur of the ADROIT class.

    • Hi Fabrice
      The Adroits were torpilleurs d'escadre. Contre-torpilleurs were bigger and had a larger main armament. They also came in classes of 6 not 14 like the Adroits. The Contre-torpilleurs classes were: Jaguar, Bison, Aigle, Vauquelin and Le Fantasque. Marines Editions did a superb series on each class.
