USN had similar issues with early interwar Heavy Cruisers and some Battleships with the multi mountings in a common sleeve causing salvo dispersion. Even with separate mountings a millisecond delay between firings unproved accuracy a lot.

Thank you all! I now wonder what's next, either a steam cargo or the most handsome Italian cruiser : Bolzano

Agreed - I think the issues with the cruisers' gunnery were more related to the mountings - specifically, use of a single cradle for multiple guns. The Kirovs were similarly notorious in this regard. The later Condottieri groups, the heavy cruisers and the Littorio class were all extremely handsome vessels with very appealing lines. This model does them justice

I don't know that the Italian Naval Rifles were crap. The 15" rifles of Roma et al. had very good velocity and range. What the regs marina lacked was OIL to leave port and drip, drill, drill. Much like the vaunted IJN of early WWII, hard to keep any edge at all swinging at anchor as the war wore on.
Cruisers were always mixed bag protection wise. HMAS Sydney was sunk with all hands by the raider Kormoran off the West Coast of Australia. Except for the Atlanta's The only major difference between US heavy and Lights was counting the number of turrets and the frequency and size of the arriving splashes.
Lacking the huge small AA complement, a very clean and pleasing design was possible in the gist of interwar ships such as Hood.
Keep up the good work, a really lovely model of sleek ship!

Excellent work, there!
It's funny, really; the Italians sure knew how to build sexy ships...it's such a shame the weapons they had to put on them were almost all crap.

I don't know that I have seen too many ships in 1:500, but in some ways possibly a good scale. You can still work in decent detail such as you have. I made my Whitehurst railings from wire stanchions and human hair and they look very good!
It's not a race to complete, slow is good!

Thank you Neptune ! yes I made my own photoetch . I'll make the boats with vacuum forming, with this method you can make thin curved funnel caps. And you just need a hair dryer !

Definately good looking. I'm also a fan of such "crude" ships, without all the clutter of AA and radars etc. Love the techniques you're using, did you make that PE yourself? Vacuum form worked splendidly as well. You don't see it used so much, apart perhaps for lifeboats, but it worked for these funnel caps for sure!

A very nice Cruiser, the Italian ships were designed before such ships were overgrown with small and medium AA. The possess the clean lines of say, HMS Hood.
A fun scale to work in. I many years ago I built a USN DE (Whitehurst) in thins scale, with only a ruler, a knife and a pair of pliers, from styrene sheet. My 1:192 Alaska came out very nice, waterline like yours, of styrene sheet, by having a base sheet screwed to the build base.
Keep up the nice work! Tom
