dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 This is the Trumpeter 1/700 Vittorio Veneto. I used the Eduard etch set for the Roma but left off the things like radar, as this represents the ship in 1940. Vittorio Veneto was a Littorio class battleship, a fast powerful modern battleship, armed with 9 high velocity 15 inch guns.Vittorio Veneto was the prime target for the Royal Navy's Mediterranean fleet at the battle of Cape Matapan. She was torpedoed by an Albacore, flown from HMS Formidable but managed to effect enough repairs to escape. The Cruisers Pola, Zara and Fiume were not so lucky and were caught at night by HMS Warspite, HMS Valiant and HMS Barham and destroyed by 15 inch shells and destroyer torpedoes. Vittorio Veneto survived the war but was scrapped. thanks Mike 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugle07 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Very nice modelling, and paint job. She's a busy looking ship isn't she. How was the kit to put together? Geoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real issues at all the only problem is that the etch is for Roma but most of it is usable on Vittorio Veneto. thanks Mike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Hello Mike, Very impressive build of this battleship. Placed in a very realistic water scene. Museum Piece. It is a good thing, that the Italian High Command had no idea how to use these giants on the open Med Sea, Mussolini called it "Mare Nostrum" but it never was. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
