This is the ninth of a serie of revised 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.

Pack include four different units, Zara, Fiume, Gorizia and Pola, in order to implement main "historically accurate" differences between units of same class (funnels, command deck, central hull shape...).

As you can see, i've tryed to improve units, adding 3D details like doors, portholes, cables, rails, stairs, liferats, 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 :hmmm:
