Rui,
Outstanding coverage of an unusual subject. It will help many with the Choroszy kit. Oh boy, another project has to be planned out ! Thank you very much.

Ahoy Skipper! (Hello Rui),

Now that is definitely a very odd but very interesting piece of
machinery!
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Guys

I wish I add all this photos when I was making this last year:


This is the old OOP MST (later New Model System, from Italy) 1/35 SLC Maiale.

It isn't accurate but...

One thing that I noticed on the Maiale (the real one) was that the Darker green paint was applied later, at least in the hood area (you can see the splotches and the original green underneat).
I really don't know how the Italeri Maiale will turn out, but the fact that the box include a MTM - also in display at Venice's Museo Storico Navale - makes me think that they will be good

Still it is a very good reference for Model Victorias SLC Maiale (which I already have and it makes justice with the real one)

Thanks for all your comments
