The CO approves.  You may proceed sir!  Make this the last year you work on it because it'll be done in a few months  :)

History

In an old OOP book about Spanish Navy in 20th century, there is a note:
'in last 20s there was a project, vanished as many others, to build 2 battleships of reduced :unsure: british Rodney class. Some speculations refer 30 000 ton displacement and 9 x 15 inch, in 3 triple turrets.'

In other sources a project to order in Italy something similar to a Roma class battleship.

So, why this not?

I want to produce what can,arguably, be the smallest whif project  ever done  ;D ...





Inspired by Pitcairn PA-38

This model is scale 1/600. Then 2,50 cms corresponds to 15 m. This makes me think in the size of some medium bomber of WWII. I assume this could be an useful aircraft

What do you think?

Beautiful!

I have started a 1/1200 model of a possible rebuild of the BB Espana where all the turrets are on centerline. I think that was mentioned in the same book.

So far only the hull.
