Italeri 5623 M.T.M. Barchino with crew SCALA 1:35

NOT AVAILABLE

Italeri 5623 MTM Barchino with crew SCALE 1:35. The Italian Royal Navy, building on the successes achieved during the First World War, developed several underwater and surface assault vehicles. The Motoscafo da Turismo Modificato (MTM) was designed to ensure a rapid approach to the target to be hit and not easily detectable by enemy forces. Once the approach was completed and the target was close, the pilot would lock the rudder to maintain the course and launch the barchino at high speed towards it. The pilot, positioned at the stern, would eject from the barchino at a safe distance, before the collision. The high-potential explosive charge positioned at the bow of the Barchino would detonate upon impact with the target. We can remember the sinking, by the assault group commanded by Luigi Faggioni, of the British Royal Navy heavy cruiser HMS York at Suda in March 1941, as the most successful action of the Italian Royal Navy in the use of the "Barchino".

MAS 563/568 WITH CREW Description CONTAINS 6 FIGURES - PHOTO-ETCHED - TRANSPARENT ACETATE - SCREWS, ROPES & ACCESSORIES Since the First World War, the Royal Italian Navy has paid great attention to the development of small, fast vessels, generally armed with torpedoes. Torpedo-armed motorboats, better known by the acronym MAS, were vessels of direct civilian origin. During the First World War, the results obtained were absolutely significant with the sinking, by Commander Luigi Rizzo, of the Austro-Hungarian Navy battleships Wien and Szent István. Although they were suited to closed, calm seas like the Adriatic, the Italian Navy continued to work to improve the performance of small but fast torpedo boats. The MAS 500s, equipped with the new, more powerful and reliable Isotta-Fraschini gasoline engines, developed during World War II, were used both as torpedo boats and as anti-submarine platforms for launching depth charges. They could reach a top speed of 45 knots and were armed with two 450 mm torpedoes. ITALERI 1:35 SCALE, We do not ship to the Canary Islands.

SLC Maiale with crew Italeri 5621 SCALE 1:35

SLC Maiale with crew Description: PHOTO-ETCHED - 2 NEW FIGURES - COLOR INSTRUCTION SHEET MINES NOT INCLUDED Based on the experiences and successes of the Italian Royal Navy in the First World War, in 1935 Teseo Tesei and Elios Toschi designed and progressively perfected the Siluro a Lenta Corsa (SLC) which would become better known as the “Maiale”. The torpedo, modified to allow it to be guided while submerged by two operators equipped with breathing apparatus, was intended to carry a high-explosive warhead under the keel of the moored ship. The torpedoes had a limited speed and were equipped with a guidance system. The batteries that powered the electric motor guaranteed a range of 12-15 miles. The most famous exploit of the Royal Navy's raiders occurred on December 19, 1941. Transported by the submarine "Scirè", the SLCs sank the British Royal Navy battleships HMS Valiant and HMS Queen Elizabeth in the port of Alexandria, Egypt. The box contains the pig with photo-etched parts and two Italeri 1:35 scale assembly figures. We do not ship to the Canary Islands.
