Italeri 1/35 S.L.C. Maiale with Crew: Historically faithful scale reproduction

The Italeri 1/35 S.L.C. Maiale with Crew model kit provides a historically minded project for enthusiasts. It portrays the Italian human torpedo with care, offering parts and figures that support a museum-style finish when built accurately.

Historical background and model detail

Noted for silent approaches and harbour attacks, the Maiale is captured here with attention to external fittings and crew positions. The kit supports accurate rigging, markings and subtle ageing to reflect operational service.

Tips for builders and display ideas

Work slowly when assembling small joins and use thin adhesives to avoid excess. Consider a shallow water display or a harbour quay vignette to emphasise the Maiale's operational scale and context.

Specifications

Yes. The kit offers proportions and surface detail suitable for historically accurate builds when references and period paint schemes are applied.
Fit is generally good but careful trimming and test fitting are recommended to align figures in seated positions and to achieve natural poses.
Light salt staining, subtle rust at fittings and thin oil washes highlight panel lines and simulate sea exposure without obscuring fine details.
