Regia Marina Italian Heavy Cruiser 'Pola'

this is only pic I found of a camo painted heavy cruiser but it's the 'Gorizia' which has disimilitarities in the forward superstructure.




here's some attractive schemes



as you can see the Pola is not there and further research indicated that the vessel was sunk at The Battle of Matapan before it even got the chance to sport a dazzle camo scheme...so it has to be an all grey finish...I'm afraid, but it will still have a striped fore deck and and dark blue in the midship decks....the aft deck will be in wood laminate...

Thanks xorta Paul

iT WILL BE TAGHNA llkoll ...the forward deck

Have started works on the Pola....forward and midship decks sanded clean and had to be scribed and detailed....more fine detail will be added once the Taghna llkoll finish will be applied
Top of mid ship supertstucture had to reworked and scratchbuilt as kit offering is incorrect...now working on the midship and bow deck

Another big one ...coming up..

U mela ejja nann! let's get to the build, great going but this is going to take a lot to beat your recent effort, that was one hell of a build.

Prosit Louis,

I have a funny feeling that this is going to be a master piece. Keep it up habib - the detailing looks superb.

Hull and top fwd deck and midships decks airbrushed...still more weathering to go ...it's still a dry fit...working on rear funnel

Prosit Louis,

Nice assembly and paintwork, Ejja Halli tibda wahda Germaniza issa.

Prosit Lou, very eye catching scheme.

But to colourful for a war time ship uh Louis.... what fast progress..

Forward superstructure nearly complete.....




the boats for the boat bay ...only the hulls were used and also corrected because they were very shallow...the rest is scratchbuilt...

Very good work ja Nannu...

thanks Mark...incidently all the decking of the baots is wood laminate...and here is the rear superstructure which needs ore work...also the AA guns which were heavily modified....the smaller AA guns were scratchbuilt...
