The in-laws left yesterday, so I grabbed the afternoon and early evening to prepare the rest of my 1/3000th scale Davco Italian pre-war fleet. I allowed the Littorio on the basis that she was undergoing sea trials in 1939 so could theoretically be sent into action in early 1940, while the Andrea Doria and Caio Duilio were being re-built, so couldn’t possibly have been active in 1938-39 but could have been in 1940, so I kept them in the mix. 

The light cruisers were all operational in 1938, when my fictitious Franco-Italian war is set, so they will be a useful addition to the fleet, while the six Navigatori destroyers will reinforce the Soldati and Freccia class destroyers that I already have. I could add some more light cruisers and destroyers but I think this will be more than enough for a Regia Marina fleet c1938-1940, especially as I want to complete a similar sized fleet for the 1941-43 period in splinter camouflage.
