Navis Neptun 1/1250 1550 Attillio Regulo small light cruiser 1942
Attilio Regulo is a second-hand, 1/1250 scale, metal, waterline model of a small Italian cruiser by Navis Neptun, catalogue number 1550.
This class of small, light cruisers was in the long established tradition of Scout Cruisers of beingfast and agile enough to lead flotillas or divisions of Destroyers or torpedo boats into battle. Unfortunately, they arrived too late to be of much usebefore the surrender of Italy in WW2. Those that were still at the shipyards were damaged beyond economic repair by 1945.
