Thetis Models TM200-007 1/200 Submarine SCIRE (1940 and 1941 fittings)

3D printing resin kit and photo-etched in scale 1:200. The kit allows you to build the submarine SCIRE in the 1940 and 1941 configuration.

The Scire submarine belonged to the ''600'' class, ''Adua'' series, composed of small cruise boats built to conduct underwater warfare in the Mediterranean. Already in the first months of the war it was modified to be used as a submarine to approach the SLC (slow-running torpedoes) underwater assault craft, better known as ''pigs''. In this role it was the protagonist of several missions, the most famous and profitable of which was the one conducted against the Alexandria base in December 1941, which led to the serious damage of the British battleships Queen Elizabeth and Valiant, an oil tanker and a destroyer. The kit contains the parts to build the Scire in two versions: as it appeared in late 1940, when it was used against the Gibraltar base, and as it appeared in 1941, at the time of the Alexandria enterprise.

pieces of brass profiles for the creation of simple details;
