A plastic kit of the Italian battleship RN Littorio as she appeared in 1941 in 1:700 scale from Trumpeter. The flagship unit of the Regia Marina in the Mediterranean.
Responsibility details are not available.
The kit captures the Italian battleship Littorio, the lead unit of the class of the same name, as she appeared in 1941. The year in the name describes the form of the ship in that year, not the year she was launched. The 1:700 scale is among the most widespread for large surface ships, so the model fits into a display case beside British and German battleships without upsetting the size relation of the collection.
The Littorio was the most modern battleship of the Regia Marina and together with her sister ships she formed the core of the force with which the Regia Marina protected the convoy routes to North Africa. The main armament consisted of nine 381 mm guns in three triple turrets, and the silhouette was dominated by a massive tower superstructure with rangefinders. In the autumn of 1940 the ship suffered heavy damage in the British air raid on Taranto; after repairs she returned to service and in 1941 she took part in operations against Allied convoys in the Mediterranean.
First dry-fit the hull and the main deck and check that no gap appears anywhere. Leave the main armament turrets movable or fix them only after painting. Apply the lighter Italian gray shades with an airbrush over an even base, otherwise the color of the plastic shows through. Bring out the complex superstructure with a darker shade in the recesses and drybrushing along the edges, and paint the small gun barrels and the boats with a brush at the very end.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
