First of all, I promise: I will finish the Lancia 1zm...
The "Tre Pipe" (Three Pipers) were a long series of different destroyer classes built by the Pattison shipyard (Impavido, Sirtori, La Masa and Generali classes) since 1913, dubbed like that because of their three funnels. These 35 strong class destroyers fought during WWI and most of them survived to fight in WWII, even if they were downgraded to Torpedoboat in 1929. Being obsolete during WWII, they were relegated to escort duties... achieving very little. The only success come from the Achille Papa that, the 30 July 1941, rammed and sunk the Hms Cachalot.
So here there two models. The dark one is the destroyer "La Masa" in its 20's colour, the second one is the Achille Papa in 1942 camouflage.
I build them making a crossover of Answer Insidioso and Zio Prudenzio Prestinari, plus many modification (for istance, the hull and the main bridge).
