Italeri’s PT-596 Torpedo Boat is a huge model. At 1/35 scale, the hull length is 700mm (27.55”). The tooling to create the hull is the largest single part ever made by Italeri, weighing a massive 748 lbs. Italeri’s skilled designers, historians and craftsmen pulled out all the stops. This gorgeous, first ever kit of this type from Italeri contains 322 parts molded in olive green plastic, plus one clear acetate sheet for the windows, one photoetched fret containing 86 parts for torpedo fins, rocket launchers sides, 37 MM. gun ammo conveyor, gunsights, main mast aerials, instruments panel, deck lights, and seven screws. The one piece hull and single piece deck are wonderfully detailed, as are the on-board twin 0.50 Cal. machine guns positions. Finely engraved Mk.13 torpedoes with side impulse launchers, containing 17 parts for each unit add to the spectacular realism, along with the detailed exhaust with silencers and rear smoke generator.
