A good kit, but there is a lot of room for adding detail. The gun on the bow is a 20mm Breda which I added. Med based MTB's used these captured Italian guns. The twin Vickers .303 MG's were also added, their mounts were scratch-built.

You can't see much, but I added a partial interior, which is visible through the forward hatch. My only real complaint about the kit was Italeri's decision to make the yardarms and the radar antennae as PE parts. They weren't very realistic, or robust, so I scratch-built replacements. This boat makes a great companion to the Elco and the MAS.     Respond to this message    Author Reply Chris Durden (Login mcdurd) HyperScale Forums 128.239.122.7 Very nice Al - the Breda looks perfect June 8 2012, 4:19 PM  Do you have any pictures of the Med boats with the Bredas installed?
