1/700 70199 Combrig Henri IV French Battleship 1903
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Very highly detailed and well molded resin waterline model kit. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes illustrated instructions. From my friend Dusty Rhodes: Several sources record that some unfortunate sheep gave their lives to demonstrate the lethality of the main battery's muzzle blast. The vessel was reported to have been exceedingly wet aft, especially under way, with a freeboard of about six feet. She was jocularly known among some English speakers as "The Angry Cat" (~ Henri Quatre). Although sometimes described as an eccentric and dangerous experiment in battleship design, The Angry Cat played a significant combatant role in the Eastern Med in the First World War and was damaged by Turkish shore battery fire in the Dardanelles.
