ICM U.BOAT TYPE XXVIIB “SEEHUND (LATE) WWII GERMAN MIDGET SUBMARINE – S.007 SCALA 1:72

CA is the name of a class of miniature Italian diesel-electric submarines of World War II. Ships of this type were launched in 1938-1941. In total, only 4 ships of this type were built. The CA-class ship was 10 meters long, 1.96 meters wide and had a displacement of only 16.4 tons. The maximum speed under water was up to 5 knots. Ships of this type could be armed with two 450 mm torpedoes. The CA-class ships were initially designed and built as ultra-light coastal submarines. However, during World War II, they were modified for various types of special missions that required advanced stealth. Their construction by the Caproni company was also kept secret. In 1942 and 1943, it was planned that units of this type would be transported across the Atlantic aboard the submarine Leonardo Da Vinci and would launch an attack on American ships docked in New York. Interestingly, the ship was even given a proper modernization, but in May 1943 it sank, and the imminent signing of the ceasefire by Italy made it impossible to implement this plan. All CA-class ships were scrapped in 1943 and 1944. We do not ship to the Canary Islands

Revell 05078 Deutsches U-Boot German Submarine Type XXI with Interior Scale 1/144. The Type XXI U-boats were German ocean-going submarines whose serial production began in 1944. The Type XXI units were 76.7 m long, 6.6 m wide and had an underwater displacement of 1,820 tons. The maximum speed on the surface of the Type XXI U-boats was 15.6 knots, and the maximum speed underwater was 17.2 knots! The main armament of the Type XXI units consisted of six 533 mm torpedo tubes located in the bow. Secondary armament is 2 twin 20mm AA guns or 2 twin 30mm AA guns. The Type XXI U-boats were created in connection with the increasing losses suffered by German submarines in the Battle of the Atlantic, linked to the use of increasingly sophisticated methods by the Western Allies (Combating Submarines). The command of the Kriegsmarine in 1943 decided to create a completely new type of submarine, which turned out to be a technological breakthrough in the construction of this type of unit. First, a large-scale modular structure was used, which significantly reduced the production time of a single vessel. Furthermore, a new type of propulsion was used and a much better hydrodynamic shape of the hull and kiosk was taken care of, which allowed the phenomenal underwater speed of 17 knots for those times! The Type XXI ships also had a long range, a very large maximum depth, and were much quieter than previous German submarines. They also had rich - as at the end of the Second World War - electronic equipment. All these qualities made them an extremely dangerous weapon against Allied merchant shipping in the Atlantic. However, considerable production delays, the Western Allies' offensive bombing of Germany, and the loss of Atlantic ports in 1944 meant that the first Type XXI ships did not enter operational service until March 1945! However, after the end of the Second World War, the acquired copies were intensively studied by the Americans, British and Russians and, to a large extent, marked the development of submarines in these countries until the end of the 1950s!

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".

US NAVY PBR31MK.II PATROL BOAT RIVER “PIBBER” TAMIYA 1:35. GLUE AND PAINTS NOT INCLUDED. WE DO NOT SHIP TO THE CANARY ISLANDS. Pibber (also known as Patrol Boat, Riverine or PBR) is a type of post-war American river patrol boat. In the Mk. II, a single boat was 9.8 meters long and 3.5 meters wide. Propulsion was provided by two Detroit Diesel engines with a total power of 360 hp, allowing a maximum speed of 28-29 knots. Armaments consisted of 7.62 and 12.7 mm Browning machine guns and a single Mk. 18 cal. 40 mm. Pibber patrol boats from the beginning were designed to serve in the shallow waters of the rivers of Indochina and therefore had a low shot, as well as receiving propulsion that made it much easier for them to navigate the rivers. Units of this type served mainly during the Vietnam War in the period from March 1966 to the end of 1971 on the Mekong River. They performed patrol tasks, close support of their own troops, but also for the transportation of special forces. In the course of production, two types of boats of this type were created: the first (Mk. I) was the basic version, the second (Mk. II) was longer, wider than its predecessor and had slight changes in the hull structure. In total about 250 Pibber boats were built., We do not ship to the Canary Islands
