Vittorio Veneto 1/350 Trumpeter: Building and Painting the Italian Battleship
HTML-код

- Hi! Thanks for visiting the Channel!
In this video, i'm building the Trumpeter 1/350 scale warship Vittorio Veneto, a battleship of the Italian Regia Marina.
The kit is just great - if you are interested in ships, this is a nice piece to add to your collection, but experience is required because it isn't an easy build and especially painting can be challenging.
The total score should be 24/30, not 22, as stated in the video - i made some corrections after reflecting on the kit afterwards when comparing it to other ships i have built.

![[Ship Model]1:700 Italian battleship Littorio [Model Building#24]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5YPOWCy8E5M/mqdefault.jpg)
You have built my favourite battleship as I arguably consider it one of the most elegant battleship. My late father said that he saw one of the Vittorio Veneto class battleships at La Spezia when he was young and was shocked how massive it was! He never forgot...
It truly is a beautiful vessel! the streamlined hull, the sleek, long shape, the powerful armament - It's even more elegant than the Hood
As Italian I can appreciate so much this model. However, the Vittorio Veneto had fore and aft those white red aerial reconnaissance stripes just until the Battle of Cape Matapan without any camouflage. The camouflage was applied the first time after the battle reparations in the early summer 1941... after that, the reconnaissance stripes remained only forward, till winter 1942, when they was completely removed.
Oh, thanks for the information! Now that you mention it, the paint scheme was somewhat confusing as they showed a solely grey hull with red and white strips fore and aft, and an alternative with only hull views, not from above, so i assumed they had it both. But it is a very beautiful ship design!
Great build, only one little mistake -Italian ships had a green lower hull.
Italian Destroyers wore red underwater.Camoflage varied very quickly with some ships having different looking sides.Google World of warships Italian hull colors.The variety was huge and seems to have changed quickly up to the "switch" when they were changed over to the allied paint schemes.
@@model-man7802 For destroyers, yes you are right, but the Veneto class - and as far as I know the other two battleships too- had green antifouling paint. The upper hull camo changed quite a few times, even the recognition strips. I have the Trumpeter 1:700 Roma, so I started to dig into the topic before I tackle the model. Look up PLASMO's modelling video on the Roma, he nailed the colours perfectly.
@@peterkovasznai3534 Yeah all my books are in storage but I googled it and I remember the paint jobs changed at a terrible pace to the point where your head spins🤣👍
@@model-man7802 destroyer? u mean VV in Warship Girls R? She dose really looks like a destroyer in that game
y your kit has a wonderful combination?
y my veneto needs to keep polishing
Just came here to see if to buy or not this kit. Even though it's my third ship, you convinced me, and thanks for the information!
Nice build, I'm one of the modeler from Malaysia. Myself now also building a Trumpeter 1/200 CV-6 Enterprise
Nice, that is a huge project!
Pretty nice kit, never built a Italian BB glad to see more coming around. Im not big on 1 / 700 because parts are too small . Just glad they are making more 1 /350 kits
Agreed,even when I had good eyesight I wanted somthing that filled my shelf so I did 1/350.I have over 200 ships in 1/350.Its taken me 20 yrs to get this far and many are resin.Love my 1/350.👍
@Svannuta many are unbuilt and except about five that I'm working on the rest are in storage.I found out with a few exceptions you get the PE sets first.Kit can wait till later unless it's a limited run.I myself would love to get my Battleships out.Just got the Utah and now I cand do Battleship row at Pearl Harbor in 350 scale all are Resin except for Two.👍
Lovely tidy build. Superb paint finish. Stunning work all round. Thanks for sharing
Thanks! Glad you like it, i really like how it turned out, one of my better projects so far, in my opinion
Very Good Work
a very nice result. Only the white and red stripes are a bit lost. There is an old painter's trick. First white, then masking off and again with white over it, so that the gaps are closed. Then red.
That sounds like a great idea! I am interested in the Trumpeter 1/350 Fiume Heavy Cruiser, there i could try the stripe technique out, thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing you ship building. It is very interesting. Thank you again.
Thank YOU for watching the videos! Glad you like it, its the biggest compliment! :)
Vittorio Veneto had almost certainly a green hull, being built in Trieste. Only Littorio and Impero (unless the later had been dry docked in Trieste) Raf the Red Hull.
Compliments for the great job on the model,and thank You for posting the video,I have the r.n. Roma kit and after watching your video would be a bit easier the assembly on my part,since the ships are similar .
Thanks again and happy modelling
Thanks, glad you like it!
A little late, to this one, but she looks beautiful. Glad you uploaded :)
Omg it's Soo big and long 😍 oh my
great job bro👍
Real nice built. ButI'm happy, i'm not the only, who broke sometimes one of the guns. ;-)
A challenging build but well done....congratulations! I have the Trumpeter Roma in the same scale which I haven't built yet so was very happy to see your video which has given me ideas, tips etc when I eventually tackle my ship. Thank you.
You can get around the paint being damaged while gluing if you use CA glue.
👍
Beautiful work. Can you please tell me the length of the ship but most importantly the height? Thank you
The Italians BBs are like Italian ladies."Very easy on the eyes".😂
Littorio class is a most powerful Battleship of Italian navy
One thing, when drilling holes, try to drill from outside to the inside, that way the hole will not show the plastic will not show the waste from the hole that is being drilled., just sayin
Ciao, bell lavoro, ma Il Vittorio Veneto aveva l'opera viva verde e non rosso mattone per non parlare delle strisce rosse e bianche
bel modello del vittorio veneto, mi pui spiegare come fare in modo preciso le striscie biancorosse così linerari, visto i rilievi che ci sono sul ponte? grazie gianni e complimenti.
I always wonder why the aft main battery turret was mounted on such a tall barbette. Strange design choice and potentially a weak spot.
You'd think 1:350 scale models would be a bit more of separate parts to assemble. I highly dislike when the hull is one solid piece. With my 1:200 scale models of Bismarck, Hood and Scharnhorst you had to construct the entire hull oneself. keel plate assembled from 3 or 4 wooden parts, then install the wooden ribs, then first panelling, grinding smooth, filling gaps with putty, grinding smooth again, second panelling, grinding smooth, filling gaps with putty, grinding smooth again... So the entire hull was made of wood. The core of the super structure: made of several wooden parts, that were covered in photo-etched parts. All in all very little plastic. mostly wood, PE parts, other metal parts (steel and copper).
I mean, those 1:350 scale models are not that cheap. Why can't the manufacturer make the kits as e.g. Amati made the Bismarck, Hood and Scharnhorst in 1:200 (the models I built)?
But other than that, I enjoyed watching.
u've got a mistake, the afterdeck that made up with wood should not be painted
e se mi puoi consigliare per la mimetizzazione grazie gianni.
Great build. Thanks for sharing
Awesome build Peter! The details you put into your kits are commendable. What was the reason for the white and red striping on the ship? Again excellent build and video 👍👍
Thanks! Also, thanks for frequently visiting! I'm always glad to see some known faces around! I assume the stripes are there for airplanes to identify their own ships, similar to the RAF roundels on main gun turrets on some british ships
@@funinscale2892 that makes sense, your probably correct. Thanks Peter and have a great week and weekend. Looking forward to the next build and video 👍👍
@@funinscale2892 correct but it also makes it easier to be identified as had happened to the battleship Roma before it got sunk...
Hi excellent work! One question: have you purchased any expansion kit or everything is included in the box? If you have purchased any expansion can you tell me the name? Thanks a lot
Hello! Everything was included in the kit by trumpeter, i didnt get any upgrade sets
@@funinscale2892 Also railings are included??
Wow you upload full model builds pretty often how much free time do you have?
Thanks to covid, i have plenty of time for this hobby!
Probably not married too?I have over 200 ships in this scale and I have three built.(sigh)Many are Resin too.Many years to Accumulate this many.With all the Photo Etched and resin add ons it takes almost 12months to build the Lexington CV2.
Fun fact, the Vittorio Veneto was capable of greater speeds in reverse than at flank speed.
??
@@venetostato4822 It was capable of 42 knots in reverse so it could run away from the enemy at great speed.
Great job! Beautiful kit, does the kit come with decals for the red & white deck stripes? Tempted to pick this kit up now! Cheers!!
Hello! No, there are no decals for the stripes, you have to paint them on
great build! building the 1/700 version atm.
also if i may ask what software did you use to edit the video? might try making a video on mine too. TIA
Hi! I use the very simple and free windows movie maker (i think its free if you have windows), you can't do too much with it, but it is also easy to learn and apply! Good luck with your 1/700 version, would be interesting to see if you finish a video!
She so big, like yamato.
It pains me how little attention to detail there is
Discrete building job and bad painting work... P.S. You applied the insignia of the Regia Aeronautica on the Reggiane upside down...!!!
The paint job is done very sloppily. No good, mate!
Ready to go asleep, bored with this
