OcCre Belle Poule – French frigate with a Napoleon connection
OcCre Belle Poule is a wooden model kit in 1/90 scale representing the 60-gun French Navy frigate Belle Poule. Frigates of this type were fast and versatile warships, used for combat, patrol duties and missions where firepower had to be combined with strong sailing performance.
For retailers, Belle Poule is a model with both elegance and historical weight. Construction began in 1828, the ship was launched in 1834 and the design was inspired by the USS Constitution class. What makes the model especially easy to present is the story of Belle Poule bringing Napoleon’s remains from Saint Helena back to France, an event with strong symbolic meaning in French and European history.
With 6630 parts and an estimated build time of around 800 hours, Belle Poule is a large project for experienced model builders. A cast nameplate, construction stand, sails and extensive support material make the model attractive for customers looking for a highly detailed historical frigate with a story that goes beyond the ship’s technical qualities.
