The Royal Louis was a three-deck ship of the line equipped with 120 guns. The ship's commander also served as the squadron commander. During its service, this vessel was the most heavily armed first-class ship in the French Royal Navy. The model reproduces the Royal Louis based on plans from 1779, when it served as the flagship of the American Squadron, also known as the Count d'Estaing's squadron. The kit is characterized by its exceptionally rich equipment. The complex hull design highlights the challenges faced by the model's designers in order to reproduce the appearance of the original as faithfully as possible.
