La Belle 1/30 Pof part work kit from Hachette

Zoltan, Thanks for finding these items, can you tell me more about this, and how to get in touch with them and the price, NEED THE INFORMATION ABOUT PLANS AND INSTRUCTIONS. THANKS Don PS and size also
 
Hi Don ,I wrote an email to Canadian Hachette departament ,they are not offering this kit in Canada,also whatever they sell just for Quebec residents only.Hachette is similar like DeAgostini they are partwork/subscriptions,La Belle currently sold for Italy only.
 
Hi Zoltan, I have nieces that live in Quebec, My late DEAR WIFE WAS FROM MONTRAL she was French Candian, and I still have nieces and nephews living in Quebec, can I get this trough them if I want. DON
 
No ,they do not offer this kit in Quebec,just in Italy for italian residents.
 
Thanks for reactivating this topic....I was not aware about this italian kit.......seems also to be based on the Jean Boudriot drawings of the La Belle.
Here a link to the plan set from ancre in scale 1:48, in the meantime they are offering the set of drawings also in 1:36 scale and 1:24, because the model is in 1:48 relatively small with a hull length of 54 cm.

Here you can see a comparison of the La Belle with the La Salamandre in the background in the same scale of 1:48

That’s the Chinese version by CAFmodel. Smaller scale at 1/48. It looks like a very nice kit.
Dan, I might, possibly, be able to get you set up
With an Edicola in IT, to get it sent to you. Emphasis on “might, and possibly...”
 
Hi guys, I'm collecting this partwork here in Italy.
It's made up to 140 issues and now the current issue is #106.
In spite of written in the first post the price is €7.99 per issue, not 7.
The complete partwork is planned to be over on December 22th, 2019
It is a very interesting product, perhaps one of the first POF partwork.
If some one has questions to submit, I can answer him.
Regards, Jack.Aubrey

Hi Jack!
Is this will be your next build?

Hi Zoltan,
I'm sorry but this project is not part of my future plans.
I started this collection intrigued by the fact that it was a POF style model and I was curious to see how they approached the project.
Almost certainly, at the end of the 140 issues I will try to sell it as a complete kit, it is not the first time that I do it successfully.
Cheers, Jack.

That sounds good too,I am pretty sure somebody here on the forum would buy it right away
 
For anyone interested. There is a complete kit of 140 unopened parts of Hatchette La Belle 1/30 for sale on Ebay at the moment. 700 euros plus shipping costs. I am sorely tempted but have other projects to do. I think this part kit is good value as it would have cost by subscription over 1100 euros.
