Nice work  :thumbsup:. Aren't there supposed to be two commandos riding the "pig"(or is it supposed to be unmanned?)?
Looking forward to see the SLC when it's fully completed.

 :Cheers:

Danny,

Yes there are two Incursore divers, but they just stand around doing nothing :)

Scottchung1128,

Yes, the Pig is also known as 'Maiale' or the Siluro a Lenta Corsa (SLC) or slow running torpedo. The mini-sub was created by Teseo Tesei and Elios Toschi. Hence watches and accessories named after these popular names, e.g. Locman Teseo Tesei.

Takashi78,

The model is about 7 inches with the single torpedo head and 7.5 inches with the twin head.

My friend has that 3 foot model you see at Panerai AD. Evidently some years ago, Panerai sold the models for RM3,000.

However, lucky you to be able to see the real one. One day I will make it there as well.
