Vosper MTB 74 with crew. 7 FIGURES, PHOTO-ETCHED FRET, CLEAR SHEET, SCREW AND ROPES. On March 1942, a British amphibious attack was undertaken by Royal Navy and Commandos against the large dry dock at Saint Nazaire, in German occupied France. Chariot was the codename of the combined operation. The French harbor was in fact an important logistic point for the German Kriegsmarine in the Atlantic. The operation was successful done and the dry dock was damaged and unusable until the end of the war. A key role was assigned to the MTB 74. It had been specifically modified by Royal Navy shipyards to house torpedo tubes on its foredeck and to adopt specific engine silencers to reduce the noise. MTB 74 duty was to hit the anti-submarine nets and then to launch its torpedoes to block the lock gate. The MTB achieved its targets but on the way back it was hit and sank. Period: Second World War. 723 x 345 x 150 mm. The item “Italeri 135 5624 British MTB 74 Vosper Motor Torpedo Boat with Crew Model Ship” is in sale since Wednesday, March 11, 2020.
