1/200 Heller - Titanic Searcher 'Le Suroît'

The 1/200 Heller Titanic Searcher "Le Suroît" model kit recreates the French research vessel that played a critical role in locating the wreck of the RMS Titanic in 1985. Operated by IFREMER, Le Suroît was equipped with advanced sonar technology that allowed it to scan the Atlantic seabed during the early phases of the expedition.

This kit offers a detailed representation of the ship, featuring accurately moulded hull and superstructure components, deck equipment, and research apparatus true to its 1980s configuration. Suitable for maritime enthusiasts and historical modellers alike, the model provides a rare subject that connects modern maritime exploration with one of the most iconic stories in nautical history. An ideal companion piece to Titanic-themed collections, Le Suroît adds a unique, often-overlooked chapter to the legacy of oceanographic discovery.
