I am going to be starting Heller’s 1/400 scale FS Surcouf submarine. However, since the word directions are in french, I am unable to read about the painting of her. Can anyone provide me with an idea? My internet search found nothing. Thanks in advance to all of you.
I believe there’s a large-scale set of plans for her, published by the Musee de la Marine (the French equivalent to Britain’s National Maritime Museum). I’m pretty sure they’re available through Taubman Plans Service. The latter is a wonderful source run by a grand gentleman named Abe Taubman. It does have a website, but be warned: the list of plans on the website is nowhere near complete. To see everything Abe has to offer you need a copy of his printed catalog, which is a real wishbook for ship modelers. You can get a copy for $10.00 from Taubman Plans Service International, 11 College Drive, Jersey City, NJ 07305.
