Revell 1/72 British Vosper MTB (05084)
The small and manoeuvrable British torpedo boats of this class proved highly successful weapns of attack in the Mediterranean theatre of operations during World War Two. Under cover of night and with radar support, the wooden boats moved i formation to attack enemy coastal vessels with their torpedos. After the attack the boats veered off quickly to escape the fire of enemy escort vessels and to watch the success of their attack. In this way the Allies kept their supply routes open especially in the Mediterranean. The advantages of manoeuvrability and speed far outweighed in the limitations regardin range and light construction. Powered by three 4.050 PS Packard engines, the boats had a maximum speed of 40 knots (72 km/h).
