A build using only spare railing/ladder. Unfortunately trumpeter decides not to include a PE catapult being the only regret. Despite not following trumpeter painting instructions at large (which is good practice given the chance of them being correct is about 5%), I did fall into the trap of the easy way out and painted the wrong number of red/white identification stripes (as per incorrect trumpeter instruction).
Main reference used is the Littorio class bible - The Littorio Class - Italy’s last and largest Battleships 1937-1948.
Added a few platforms which the kit did not supply but should be there for a 1943 version. Also testing out a new photo booth.
A beautiful ship, a beautiful model, and some of the best model photos I’ve seen. That black background is a total success. The lighting is also excellent. Any tips on how you did it?
That is amazing work especially in 1/700 scale. I still don’t know how you 1/700 ship modelers can squeeze in that much detail in such a tiny space. That wooden deck and camo scheme just grab your attention.
