Hello everyone, to change a little, here is the model of the SLC (Silura Lenta Corsa) maïale (pig). It is a piloted Italian underwater torpedo which is at the origin of the famous raid on Alexandria of December 18, 1941. This raid costs to the British fleet the battleships Queen Elizabeth, Valiant and an oil tanker.

The Italeri model is quite simple to construct, the only delicate part is the back photoetched protector which is a little rigid and which therefore requires attention. The trolley comes from U-models, the base is in plaster in which streaks have been etched to insert the rails. The figure comes from model victoria.
