Italy - SS Enrico Tazzoli 1941
Very fine addition!
I would like to add some comments in order to fix some details... I know very well this unit and I had the honour to visit and talk several times with the last captain of the sister unit RS Giuseppe Finzi.
- the name should be
RS Enrico Tazzoli (meaning Reale Sommergibile - Royal Submarine) while RN means Royal Ship
- I am not nure about the date: in 1941 the unit was already in Bordeaux and the sail has been strongly modified to have a smaller one.
- The green color for the lower part of the hull is corret until the first months of the war. In 1941 becomes gray.
- The railing is not extendig along all the submarine. Around the two guns it was a "low" fixed protection. Then removable protection from the bow exit till the tip of the bow. behind the sail it was removable protection or even just a rope.
- No life-belt fixed on the sail (there was no time to remove it in case of fast immersion...)
If you want to draw other italian submarine I have a lot of documentation including pictures and drawings fron the navy archive.
