Thetis Models TM350-009FH 1/350 ASCARI Destroyer (1941 outfitting) Full Hull Version

3D printed resin kit and photoetched in scale 1:350. The kit allows you to build the destroyer ASCARI in the late 1941 configuration.

The destroyer Ascari, which entered service with the Italian Royal Navy in the late 1930s, was one of the twelve units of the first series of the ''Soldati'' class. At the end of 1941, it underwent a series of works, completed at the beginning of the following year, which slightly but significantly altered its appearance, especially for the construction of the counterbridge, for the embarkation of a fifth 120 mm gun amidships and a turret for the secondary fire control integral with the aft mast, and, finally, for the adoption of an experimental camouflage painting based on the scheme proposed by the Navy painter Rodolfo Claudus. Subsequently, it had few and minor alterations. It sank in the spring of 1943 - while with other light units it was engaged in a mission to transfer troops to Tunisia on the so-called ''death route'' - after having hit three mines in the space of a few hours in an enemy barrage, in which the destroyer Lanzerotto Malocello was also lost on the same occasion.
