Hello everyone, new to the forum, so hope my post works. Recently taken delivery of 140 issues of the French Hachette partworks model of the SS France. 1:250 so quite a large build - 1.25m long. Think she'll be a beauty when complete! SouthamptonGraham attached the following image(s):

Welcome to ModelSpace. It's not a kit we often see on this side of the water and nice to see a liner build underway.
Just so you know, your 'Cruise' advertising URL has been removed from your profile/post..we dont permit such advertising.

Hachette instructions are all pretty clear (even though in French - thank heaven for the pictures and google translate). The frames are all MDF and fitted together very nicely. SouthamptonGraham attached the following image(s):

Welcome to the forum
You don't see many passenger liner builds here, looks like you're off to a great start, will be an interesting to build to follow.
