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.

Varyag was a Russian armored and deck cruiser that had its keel laid in 1899 at the William Cramp shipyard in Philadelphia, launched in October of the same year, and commissioned into the Russian Navy in 1901. The ship's length was 129.6 m, its beam was 15.9 m, and its total displacement was about 7,000 tons. The maximum speed was 23 knots. The main armament consisted of twelve 152 mm guns, and the secondary armament consisted of, among others, twelve 76 mm guns or six 381 mm torpedo tubes. Varyag was one of three cruisers ordered by the tsarist government from foreign shipyards for service in the Far East shortly before the outbreak of the Japanese-Russian War (1904–1905). She proved to be a successful ship: she had a good top speed, although she was slower than her sister Askold in theory. She was also well armored and had good seaworthiness. She had - compared to Askold - much better living conditions for the crew. She had, however, less well-placed artillery. In 1902 Varyag joined the Russian Pacific Squadron. During the Japanese-Russian War (1904-1905), she fought a heroic battle near the Korean city of Czemulpo, becoming a legend of the Russian fleet. During the battle, she was scuttled by her crew. However, the Japanese managed to raise the ship from the bottom in August 1905 and incorporated her into their navy under the name Soya. It is noteworthy that in 1916 Japan sold the cruiser to Tsarist Russia, but due to her poor technical condition she did not enter line service and did not take an active part in combat operations, and in 1925 she was dismantled.

Italeri 5609 Biber Midget Submarine Scale 1/35. Plastic kit, glue and colors not included. DECAL FOR 3 VERSIONS - COLOR INSTRUCTION SHEET - PHOTO-ETCHED CONTAINS 2 FIGURES The "Biber" was the best-known "pocket" submarine used during the end of the Second World War by the Kriegsmarine. The development of the Biber was extremely rapid. Design began in February 1944 and the first examples took to sea only 6 months later. Just 9 meters long, it had a range of 240 km. It could reach a maximum speed of 6.5 knots when surfacing and 5.3 knots when submerged. The Biber could be armed with two 530 mm torpedoes, mounted externally to the submarine, or with two mines. Its crew consisted of only one person. The use of the Biber, within the Kriegsmarine strategy, was very simple: to provide a concrete defense along the coasts to protect against a possible, and increasingly probable, Allied invasion. From 1944 until the end of World War II, the Kriegsmarine received and put into operation more than 300 Bibers.
