SLC Pig with crew Description PHOTO ETCHED - 2 NEW FIGURES - COLOUR 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 Slow Running Torpedo (SLC) which would be better known as the “Pig”. The torpedo was modified to allow it to be guided while submerged by two operators equipped with breathing apparatus and was intended to carry a high-potential explosive warhead under the keel of the moored ship. The torpedoes had a limited speed and were equipped with a guidance system. The battery that powered the electric motor guaranteed a range of 12-15 miles. The most famous feat of the Royal Navy raiders occurred on December 19, 1941. Transported by the submarine "Scirè", the SLCs sank the battleships HMS Valiant and HMS Queen Elisabeth of the British Royal Navy in the port of Alexandria, Egypt. The box contains the pig with photo-etched parts and two figures to assemble Italeri 1:35 scale We do not ship to the Canary Islands
