Product Description ■ This is a colorless resin-cast kit before assembly.
Gaviano-class ships were developed during World War II as antisubmarine escorts for transport ships in the Mediterranean Sea. From 1942 to 1943, 60 ships were planned and 42 ships were built. They were also used in Germany.
Reflecting the characteristics of the theater, some of the early-built ships were equipped with two 450 mm torpedo launchers for anti-water combat. As anti-submarine warfare, they were equipped with detonating rails at the stern and four detonating projectors on each side.
Reflecting the characteristics of the theater, some of the ships were equipped with a combination propulsion system in which the screws were normally driven directly by a diesel engine and switched to electric propulsion for low-noise and low-speed navigation in anti-submarine combat.
The チコーニャ was commissioned in January 1943 and was active in sinking the British submarine Thunderbolt, but on July 24 it was sunk by an air raid by a US military aircraft.
The total length is 64.4 meters, displacement is 660 tons, combined diesel and electric engines, and speed is 18 knots.
One 100 mm single cannon, seven 20 mm anti-aircraft guns, two 450 mm torpedo launchers, and eight detonating projectors.
