Battleship Littorio
Regial Marina
Trumpeter 1/700 scale

The Kit...

This is one the three Littorio Class battleship available from Trumpeter in 1/700 scale.
It has the typical trumpeter hull, molded in red, split at the waterline with the balance of the kit in gray.

A few build photos.




Final Thoughts...

Nice little kit typical of the Trumpeter 1/700 scale ships. the White ensign PE set adds quite a bit to the level of detail you may want
In hindsight, I wish I had replaced the mainmast with a tapered brass mast. The kit mast is a little on the flimsy side and I was unable run any riging without the thing breaking off.
With three ships of the class available, I'm tempted to build one of it's sisters with the splinter camouflage


My two cents worth
