The Italian Threat in the Med: Roma

Lets not forget the threat posed by the triple turreted 15" guns of the Vittorio Vento and her sisters. Here is my 1/1200 scale Roma.


A nasty combination of good speed, armament and protection for the Royal Navy fleet of modernised WWI battleship veterans to contend with. As seen from a low flying RNAS Swordfish.


The paint scheme is a mishmash of light and dark grey, from references I gleaned later maybe I should have a more "dazzled" camouflage scheme imposed. As I have a Revell 1/1200 version of the Vittorio Vento still to paint I can be a bit more experimental with the next one.

Well my naval phase/infatuation seems to be on a bit of a roll just now apologies to the AFV fans.
