Freedom Model Kits 83001 1/700 FREMM D650 Aquitaine Multi-Purpose Frigate

Model Ship Kit

A superbly rendered subject of modern naval engineering, this 1/700 scale model depicts the lead ship of France’s Aquitaine-class FREMM frigates, D650 Aquitaine, commissioned in 2015 as a cornerstone of the French Navy’s next-generation fleet. Designed for true multi-mission capability, Aquitaine integrates advanced stealth shaping, a reduced radar signature, and a highly sophisticated combat system featuring Aster surface-to-air missiles, SCALP Naval cruise missiles, Exocet anti-ship armament, and cutting-edge anti-submarine warfare capabilities centered on a towed sonar array.

Freedom Model Kits translates these features into crisp, finely detailed parts that highlight the vessel’s clean lines and modern sensor suite, offering an engaging build for experienced modelers. As the first of her class, Aquitaine represents a significant shift in European naval doctrine toward flexible, networked warfare—making this an essential and highly contemporary addition to any serious 1/700 scale fleet.
