TimKerry, the Le Suroit has no direct link to Jacque Cousteau. However, Jacque Cousteau's research vessel 'Calypso' is in my stash waiting to be built. Ocean Exploration Vessel (Revell 05101, 1:125)

TreehuggerNice display piece. 🙂 The photos ought to be color corrected though, to show the hull being white. I suspect the photos have an orange tint to them. In artificial lighting, I guess the reddish base plate might give the white hull a slight reddish tint. Presumably looking different with sunlight.
