This is the nineteenth of a serie of units for Regia Marina, a major work who started after i've start a collaboration with flush deck, in order to "homogenise" various italian warships i've released during a lot of years, and assure a standard quality level for all of them.

This unit can also plit in two parts if torpedoed in some points:

Pack include a multiskin unit based on Dardo, with seven camo skin and a "generic" gray skin.

As you can see, i've tryed to improve units, adding 3D details like doors, portholes, cables, rails, stairs, liferafts, fixing small design flaws, taking care of "historically accurate" side, etc.
The goal is have a standard level for all my Regia Marina units released until now, and eventually for future releases

Hi everyone!
Fast re-upload, in order to fix some small details in platform's library (material's codes and a label, really small variation...).

The post-refit platform (replacement for the second torpedo launcher) was historically used also on other Regia Marina's destroyers.

I'm working on a similar solution for Navigatori DDs also.

Best regards,
