The Siluro a Lenta Corsa (Slow Moving
Torpedo), better known as 'Maiale' (Pig), was first developed in 1935 by
Captains G.N. Toschi and Tesei.
A crew of two men would navigate the weapon under the hull of enemy ships at
anchor, attaching a delayed explosive charge to a cable taut
between the anti-roll bilge keels. During the Second World War, the SLC damaged
or sank 16 ships overall, including two English battleships, Valiant and Queen
Elizabeth.
Kit includes plastic and photo-etched parts and 2 figures, plus a 36 page color
Photo Reference Manual (PRM) with detailed technical specs and valuable images
to assist in building historically accurate replicas. Finished model is 7-3/4
inches long.
