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.

MAS 563/568 WITH CREW Description CONTAINS 6 FIGURINES - 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 and fast boats generally armed with torpedoes. Torpedo armed speedboats, better known by the acronym MAS, were boats of direct civilian origin. During the First World War the results obtained were absolutely significant with the sinking, by Commander Luigi Rizzo, of the battleships of the Austro-Hungarian Navy Wien and Szent István. Although they were suitable for closed and smooth seas such as the Adriatic, the Italian Navy continued to work to improve the performance of the small but fast torpedo boats. The MAS 500s, equipped with the new, more powerful and reliable Isotta-Fraschini petrol engines, built during the Second World War, were used both as torpedo boats and as anti-submarine platforms for dropping depth charges. They could reach a maximum speed of 45 knots and were armed with two 450 mm torpedoes. ITALERI SCALE 1:35
