Some historical notes...

Tazzoli operated almost exclusively in South Atlantic, intercepting allied convoys. It had the best score among Italian Navy submarines in terms of ships sunk (18 kills). Her skipper was Capitano di Corvetta Carlo Fecia di Cossato, the "Ace of aces" of Italian submariners. This man committed suicide after Italy surrender.

Fecia di Cossato was replaced, Tazzoli's, last mission was to carry materials to Japan by circumnavigating Africa, crossing Indian Ocean and passing through South East Asia. She was lost somewhere along this long route for unknown reasons.

The kit is sold exclusively on ebay: http://www.ebay.it/itm/112019088966?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
