| KuK Viribus Unitis was a Tegetthoff-class
battleship of the Austro-Hungarian Navy. These four ships were among the
first ships to utilize triple gun turrets for their main armament, following
the pattern set by the Italian Dante Alighieri, whom the Austrian ships
were expected to do battle against.
The Tegetthoff’s are beautiful ships, and Combrig Models produces a very nice model of Viribus Unitis in 1/350 scale. Like most Combrig kits, the barrels for the armament is cast in resin. If you want to upgrade your armament from resin, Master Model has a set of turned barrels for the Viribus Unitis. |
