Description:
French Navy FS Forbin (D620) is a Horizon-class air-defense destroyer developed for advanced fleet protection and modern naval warfare operations. Equipped with powerful radar and missile defense systems, the vessel is one of the most capable surface combatants in the French Navy.
This 30-inch handcrafted model is meticulously built using the traditional plank-on-frame method and premium-grade woods, including Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany. Every detail, from the stealth-inspired hull and radar mast to the missile launch systems and deck structures, is carefully recreated by skilled craftsmen to capture the striking appearance of the original warship.
One of the defining features of the Horizon-class is its advanced air-defense capability powered by the PAAMS missile system and EMPAR radar technology. Combined with its sleek modern profile and integrated combat systems, FS Forbin represents the evolution of European naval defense design.
