Itailian Enrico Toti Class Submarine (700116)
1:700 OKB Grigorov
The Enrico Toti Class submarine was a class of 4 coastal submarines built for the Italian Navy in the 1960s. They are named after the 1920s Enrico Toti which was a Balilla Class Submarine, paying homage to Enrico Toti a WWI hero from Italy. These submarines were the first designed and built in Italy since WWII. They are comparable to the German type 205 boats. They were 46m long with a displacement of 535 tonnes.
The kit
The model arrives in the standard small sturdy cardboard box with a picture of one of the class moored alongside. The model is 65mm long. There are a couple of rein parts, PE Propeller and PE stand which has been used as the resin casting block came away on this example.
Conclusion
This is another great little model of a less well know submarine. Recommended if you want something a bit different for your 1/700 submarine collection.
Many thanks to OKB Grigorov for supplying the review sample.
