This, for the Warship modellers, may come into the category of 'Bombshell'. For the diorama builders it may also come into the same category....

I have just gos some (advance) images from Italeri's 2006 Catalogue. Hidden away, were these three items....

5701 - MS 61: Motosilurante (1/72nd Scale) looks like an Italian Fast Torpedo boat...

5602 - ELCO 80' Torpedo boat PT-596 in 1/35th scale

5601 - S.L.C. "Maiale" and M.T.M "Borchino" (1/35th Scale)

See photos at the side......Wow!!!!!!!!
