Thank you, mates.
Building it isn´t as easy as I thought.
The overall fitting is not that good.
Actually it requieres a lot of filling and sanding... 🙁

If you like you could leave this parts to me, you know i love sanding and filling😉
Just joking, take your time this is not a speedbuild.

Was the Roma not one of the ships that had been hit by a Fritz X?

@Holger:
Jupp, I´ve seen it.
And also in real when Jim was at Fuldatal a few years ago.
I´ve had a real nice conversation with him.😉

@Christian B.: You´re right, but the Littorio´s are definitly some of the best looking ships.

Some new pictures.
The command-tower ist finished, just like the 2 chimneys, most of the 20mm and 37mm AA, the 90mm AA and some ohter parts like platforms a.s.o.
Next step will be the boatdeck, the aft tower and the aft 152mm.

The Italian Navy is not my favorite but this one turns out really nice not only because it?s interesting color variation, red and white forward deck, grey camouflage and green underwater hull. Good result with the AA gun blast bags. That comes our very realistic!

I declare this model finished. 😄
The railing and rigging is done, she´s only waiting for the base from Diosockel.com.

Looks great! Some minor washing on the wooden decks would make it perfect.

Thank you guys.
@Christian:
I don´t use washing.
Since I´ve been sailing aboard the Gorch Fock, I´ve a good impression of what real wooden decks look like from a certain distance...
And a washing wouldn´t be helpful in my opinion.
It wouldn´t look good, I think.

Hello Mathias. I have not attempted a ship model, but if I did, I would hope it would look as well built and painted as yours. Very beautiful job patiently put together.

Thank you very much, mates. 🙂
It was hard work, I have to admit...
The overall fitting isn´t as good, as I was used to it from Trumpeter.
But in the end it was still fun, and that´s waht´s important😉

@Mathias: This was just a recommendation, it looks very nice the way it is.

I build Italian aircraft and getting ready to do armor as well and thought about trying to do this ship! After much thought I simply have too many projects to add this to my list, but I am super happy getting to watch you build yours. You are doing a fantastic job. How long is this model? Are you going to weather it any?

Thanks mates.
@Christian:
That´s just the way, I understood it 🙂
@Kevin:
I´m not wethering my ships.
They will be presented on a socket, and not in "water", so I think, weathering wouldn´t fit.

what a fantastic project. You obviously did a lot of research and it looks better for it...

Thank you, guys.
As soon as she is on her socket, I will post some new pictures.

Album info
This will be almost a simple straight oob-build.
But I hope you like 😉
Some minor modifikations will be carried out to give it a good over-all-look.
