Regia Marina has made an update set for the 1/700 Italian cruisers of the Duca D' Aosta class. These two cruisers, the Emanuele Filiberto Duca d'Aosta and Eugenio di Savoia, were the fourth group of the Condottieri class of light cruisers built in the 1930's for the Italian navy. Regia Marina has made an update set for this class of ships, suitable for the Delphis Models light cruiser Duca D'Aosta and Eugenio di Savoia, and the Combrig kit Duca D'Aosta. The complete set is AF028, but is also available separated as AF028A and AF028B; this is set AF028B.

The resin parts in this set are pretty simple; just the bases for the 13.2mm AA machine gun mounts.

There is a single fret of stainless steel photoetch. This fret covers a few specific detail parts; the machine guns to mate with the resin bases, ship names and fasces, scuttles, chocks and a replacement mainmast.

There is a single sheet of dual language instructions, in both Italian and English- Regia Marina, being an Italian company.

The Regia Marina AF.028B 1/700 Duca D'Aosta and Eugenio di Savoia Set sells for €7,00 or about $9.00. RM products are available direct from Regia Marina or from some of our other sponsors. Thanks to Regia Marina for this review sample.
