Designed as an ocean-going submarine with heavy armament, it featured two 203 mm guns in a turret, anti-aircraft weapons, and a hangar for a reconnaissance floatplane. The Surcouf was intended to serve as a commerce raider and long-range patrol vessel, combining the firepower of a light cruiser with the stealth of a submarine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring World War II, Surcouf served with the Free French Naval Forces after escaping to Britain in 1940. Its mysterious disappearance in 1942, believed to be due to a collision in the Caribbean, has made it a subject of intrigue among naval historians. Building this model offers a glimpse into the innovative naval engineering of the interwar period and the unique role of submarine cruisers in maritime history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuild using paint and glue.
