photo-etch for Italian WW2 warships?

Heck, it's been awhile, good to be back posting about modelling on this great group!

I have some 1:700 Regia Marina (Atilio Regolo) and Pitroad (Conte di Cavour, Guilio Cesare, Zara, Pola) resin kits that I obtained second-hand recently.

I'd like to complete them, eventually, with photo-etch. However, I can't seem to find any of my usual makers with a penchant for Italian jobs, LOL. That being GMM, Tom's Modelworks, WEM, and Fine Molds.

So can anyone recommend good makers (presumably in Europe?) of Italian photo-etch for WW2 1:700 Italian warships?

Best regards, Gernot

At least for railings and ladders, which are probably the most important parts to PE, Toms Modelworks at least, maybe others, have generic 1:700

2 bar and 3 bar railings and ladder sets.

Thanks! I also heard on the ModelWarships board that Regia Marina actually makes photo-etch for their kits. I'll check if I can get some.

hi ed, things r well, except financially (cut in salary moving to private industry). planning trip home for end feb/beginning of march, will pick up plenty of kits and books and so on there, get them out of mom's house :-) and teach bujutsu at some clubs.

modelling wise, still completing two bf109f's here (fine molds and italeri ), before moving onto some ships again. things look good, company product launch i have been working on since september was today and i am on track to enter management this year, business development that sort of thing (will do some in south africa when i visit there).

wife is fine too, gorgeous as ever, and i have enough other gorgeous partners at ballet to keep my happy and her jealous :-)

Yes, that is a good point. I see RM produced some twin Breda 20,mm/65 and single Oerlikon 20mm/70 photo-etch sets. I can't seem to find any though. Anyone know any mainland European model shops online of good repute?
