Hobby Boss 86503 French Navy Pre-Dreadnought Battleship Danton is an exceptionally detailed plastic ship model kit in the renowned 1/350 scale, dedicated to modelers who value faithful detail reproduction and historical accuracy. The model represents the French pre-dreadnought battleship of the Danton class, which was launched in 1909 at the Brest arsenal. The battleship Danton was the first unit in this series and played an important role in the French fleet in the pre-World War I period, participating, among other things, in operations in the Mediterranean Sea. It served from 1911 to 1917 as part of the Mediterranean Operational Group. Unfortunately, on March 19, 1917, it was sunk by the German submarine U-64 off the coast of Sardinia.

The Hobby Boss 86503 model offers not only an impressive length (414 mm) and width (73.7 mm), but also more than 480 parts on 13 sprues, allowing you to build a faithful replica with many original details of the deck and superstructures. The model is made of high-quality plastic, and additional accessories include a metal anchor chain and 3 photo-etched parts sheets that reproduce intricate construction details and railings. This combination makes it an ideal choice for both advanced naval modeling enthusiasts and ambitious intermediate ship builders.
