RN Pola - Mini Hobby 1/350

[R.Ricardo]

Very glad you are back to it Ricardo. I'm building Pola now but with less dedication than you. Still, your work is inspiring.

Thank you GazzaS . Please, post your Pola progress at this forum for us.

Thank you for the invitation. However, I'm almost finished with mine, and compared to your thread, I haven't done much. And now I am working on the plane, the anchors, and the ship's boats. All of which look like they should be replaced. I haven't decided on what I'll do with them at the moment.

A little topic atualization:

At 1st some drawings from Minizini I'm using as reference:







Some parts are impossible to do in this scale, the idea is only capture this busy appearence inside shield shell.

First details are added on supports and a dry fitting for comparation with pictures:















More news soon...

Thank you Nicholas.

It's a good question about 100mm/47 on Pola. Originally Pola and other Zara Class cruisers had 8 x 100mm/47 dual gun turrets, 4 at each side.



But after a modernization in second half of 30's, Pola and others Zara Cruiser had the 4th turrets changed by a pair of 37mm/54 dual Breda guns.





In my case, I'm representing Pola in second half of 1941 and six 100mm/47 dual turrets will be needed.
