Secondhand Mini-ships 1/1250 Mercury No.461 Raimondo Montecuccoli an Italian WW2 light cruiser

A 1/1250 scale second-hand waterline model of the Italian light cruiser Montecuccoliin camouflage as worn from 1941-43. This model is the only warship in the Mercury range of models which were cast in MAZAC after the method used by Triang Minic in the 1960s but the turrets are plastic mouldings. The model has been re-fitted and re-painted by a previous owner but is in very good condition, see photograph.
