MTSM Italian Torpedo Boat (1/300)

thingiverse

The MTSM (Motoscafo da Turismo Silurante Modificato) was an extremely tiny Italian torpedo boat during World War II. Like the Explosive Boat, it was designed to be transported to the target area by a larger vessel. In essence, this was a motorboat equipped with a single torpedo. They were unusual for WWII boats in that they used a stern launched torpedo setup - meaning that they had to turn sharply after launching the torpedo (there were other stern launchers in the war, but they were in the minority). For more information on the MTSM, Wikipedia has an article available here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTSM_motor_torpedo_boat (For Cruel Seas players, that link should provide enough information to work out the MTSM's stats. It appears that the crew of two were issued with a single sub machine gun, which might be considered an MG for gaming purposes.) The files included are: 1) MTSM Torpedo Boat Full Hull - the boat without waterlining (useful as an add-on for larger ships or my MS Boat Series II Carrier). 2) MTSM Torpedo Boat Flat Waterline - the boat with a "normal" waterline. 3) MTSM Torpedo Boat Angled Waterline - the boat with a waterline angled so that it appears to be moving at speed.
