Italian WW2 submarine Tazzoli, 1/350


Recommended Posts

Hello fellow modelers!

This kit has just been released for sale on ebay. Few months ago I made this prototype. It is available in a whole hull cast. PE sheets, decals. Pretty simple to assemble (like almost all submarines).

Few historical notes.

Tazzoli operated almost exclusively in South Atlantic, intercepting allied convoys. It had the best score among Italian Navy submarines in terms of ships sunk (18 kills). Her skipper was Capitano di Corvetta Carlo Fecia di Cossato, the "Ace of aces" of Italian submariners. This man committed suicide after Italy surrender.

Tazzoli's, last mission was to carry materials to Japan by circumnavigating Africa. She was lost somewhere along this long route at sea for unknown reasons.
