1/350 Italian Navy scout cruiser Leone (Scratchbuilt)
Royal Italian Navy scout cruiser Leone (“Leone” class, 3 vessels: Leone, Pantera, Tigre), entered service 1924, re-rated as destroyer in 1938 and sunk april 1941 in Red Sea. The models (Leone and the brigantine) are scratchbuilt in wood and plastic, with photoetching parts from the Italian firm Regiamarina Mas (AF 038) and decals kindly scratchbuilt for me by a different modeller (see w.i.p. in the forum www.modellismopiu.it).
