Hi ! i'm leaving near Chartres (1h30 s-w of Paris), i'm fond of History, particulary age of Sails, i play also historic wargames, practice Rugby and Archery.
I just found, in a junk store, an old modelkit of The REQUIN Xebec, and i cannot let it like that! ;)
So it's a old wood model kit, seem to be quite accurate (apart some details), some parts are broken and there will a big dust cleaning work.
The model kit is about 65cm long (including the (broken) Beaupré) and i wonder what could be the exact scale as i must redo (thanks to 3d printing!) some broken or missing parts.
there is some pictures of the ship :

glad to have found this forum, (i'll bring a bottle of rhum next time! ;) )

That looks like that will be a great little ship once you finish Restoring it. BTW welcome to SOS.
