This set is designed for modelers who want to authentically depict combat scenes from the English Channel, the North Sea, or the Mediterranean between 1939 and 1945.

Set Details

The Italeri 5616 set includes several sailor figures in dynamic, realistic poses – from the pilot steering the boat, through machine gun operators, to a crew member giving orders. Their uniforms and equipment have been thoroughly researched based on historical sources and archival photographs. The figures allow faithful recreation of the atmosphere of night patrols, torpedo raids, or convoy protection operations on European waters.

Application and Recommendation

Italeri 5616 VOSPER MTB CREW is an ideal choice for both beginners and more advanced modelers – we rate the assembly difficulty at 2/5. The detailed craftsmanship of the figures and compatibility with other 1/35 scale models means this product works equally well as an addition to existing dioramas or as a standalone modeling project. The set is recommended for those interested in maritime history, World War II, and naval battle reenactments.
