Designed and authorized by count_of_brick, this carefully crafted model faithfully recreates the iconic details and design elements of the Italian battleship Vittorio Veneto. This set includes the battleship's main armament, consisting of 9 cannons housed in three triple turrets. Two turrets are positioned at the front in a super-firing arrangement, while the third turret is located at the rear. Its firepower is complemented by twelve secondary guns distributed across four triple turrets in the corners of the upper structure. In addition, four single guns enhance its defensive capabilities.

Part of the formidable Littorio-class battleships, Vittorio Veneto played a pivotal role in the Royal Italian Navy during World War II. Launched in July 1937 and commissioned in August 1940, it commemorated Italy's victory at Vittorio Veneto in World War I. Alongside sister ships Littorio, Roma and Impero, Vittorio Veneto saw extensive involvement in wartime operations. Despite sustaining sustained battles without damage, including the British attack on Taranto in November 1940, the ship faced challenges, sustaining damage from torpedo bombers during the Battle of Cape Matapan in March 1941 and falling victim to a torpedo attack by HMS Urge in December 1941. Fuel shortages hampered further operations, limiting its involvement in attacks on British convoys to Malta. Following Italy's withdrawal from the war in September 1943, Vittorio Veneto surrendered to the Allies and spent the next three years under British control in Egypt. Eventually the ship was distributed to Britain as a war trophy, marking the end of her illustrious service as she was dismantled and scrapped after the war.
