( Unlike most model catalogs, the kits are grouped by category,
i.e. British Battleships, American Aircraft Carriers, Japanese
Subs, etc. Scales and kit manufacturers are all mixed up
within categories, though. Prices don't look that great, but
they do have a lot of stuff most mail order places don't carry
and the novel organization by ship type is very useful.

(Anyone interested in decorative items for period ships should
obtain one of their catalogs. The price of 75 French Francs
($15.00) is a bit much but its well worth it. BTW if they have
kept their catalog in the same format as in the past, all of
their fittings are shown photographically and in their actual
size. Be prepared to deal with a French language publication.)
