Thanks Giampiero. I think the trolley looks the same so that will be useful

Does anybody happen to have access to a diagram of the Gagnotto catapults found on Zara class Italian heavy cruisers?

I found a build of the Hobbyboss Pola on the Web which involved a lot of scratch building and the like to fix its inadequacies (of which there seem to be many) and thought 'I'd like to try that'. Should be good practice and it was only cheap

Thanks all. My first ship and current project is the Trumpeter 1/700 HMS Renown, though I also started and have nearly completed the little Tamiya HMS Onslow as well. I've just bought the Hobbyboss 1/350 Pola (cos I'm a sucker for punishment. Or is it just sucker?)

Returning to modelling after an absence of about 25 years (started with planes, finished with military figures, currently shippy things). Residing in Rye in East Sussex but a Yorkshireman by birth (just).
