Description: | Scale: 1:96. Three unidentified parts in a bag from a contemporary full hull model of the 40 gun French frigate Revolutionaire (1794).
CA: AAA. ?R�volutionnaire? was built at Le Havre in 1793 as a 40-gun ship. Although French ships tended to be bigger than British ones at this time, it was captured by the British frigate ?Artois? and others on its first cruise in 1794. It was then received into the British navy as a 38-gun frigate. It took part in Bridport?s action against the French at the Ile de Groix in 1795, and Sir Richard Strachan?s action against some of the French ships that survived Trafalgar in 1805. It was broken up in 1822.
