The St Nazaire Raid of March 1942, codenamed "Chariot", involved Royal Navy ships and Commandos attacking a German dry dock. The Vosper MTB 74 was among the small craft modified for the mission, featuring foredeck torpedo tubes and engine silencers to reduce acoustic signature. It played a role in disabling defences before being lost in combat.
The Italeri 5619S kit captures the MTB 74 at 1/35 scale with updated tooling and included photo-etched parts to improve crispness and scale fidelity. Assembly is detailed and rewarding for collectors; paint and glue are not part of the kit contents.
