Airfix - Vosper M.T.B - 1:72
Product Code: A05280V
Despite having one of the strongest navies in the
world, the Royal Navy knew they needed a fleet of high-speed fighting
ships to challenge enemy warships and to take a heavy toll of enemy
merchant vessels. Mainly relying on stealth, speed and manoeuvrability,
the Vosper company had been designing such craft since the early 1930s,
with the Vosper 73ft Motor Torpedo Boat being a later development of
those earlier vessels. Powered by three Packard engines, the Vosper was
capable of speeds over 40 knots and in this variant, featured four
18-inch deck-mounted torpedo tubes, an Oerlikon 20mm cannon and up to
four Vickers machine guns.
