Hi all!
Decided to finish a long-started project.
The hull and superstructures were built by me in 1998.

The more you study photos, the more questions arise ))

File comment: It seems that these are some kind of temporary covers for cutouts in the rangefinder housings. On different ships they meet either in front or behind, but never on the right and left sides at the same time.
It is also interesting - were they throughout the service?

File comment: and probably if there was a lid on top, then there was a canvas cover on the bottom?

Glad to see progress, sometimes this happens with projects. I built a 1:192 Missouri in about 1965 and completely rebuilt it to the modern configuration in about 1992 but keep adding new and improved components, especially after adopting 3D printing. About 1990 I began my 1:192 Alaska and it's mostly finished but needing water (waterline) and a case. The worse case was a LSM in 1:133 which I crafted the hull from alloy in 1964 and finished only last year, of course to a hghrt standard.

Your title says RN, but of course this is one of those elegant and speedy Italian cruisers. Very nice metal work, a quality but skillful trade!

Just a WAG, but the item in question might be a training stop?

Best regards: Tom

Some training stops were bolted on in the US Navy so this wasn't uncommon. And it would curve up to meet a stop on the bottom rear of the turret.

But it could be something entirely different!
