Relying on stealth, speed, and agility, the Vosper company had been crafting such vessels since the early 1930s, with the Vosper 73ft Motor Torpedo Boat being a more advanced version of these earlier designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEquipped with three Packard engines, the Vosper could exceed speeds of 40 knots. This variant was armed with four 18-inch deck-mounted torpedo tubes, an Oerlikon 20mm cannon, and up to four Vickers machine guns. These boats were crucial during World War II, combining formidable firepower with remarkable speed and maneuverability to attack enemy ships and coastal installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"heading--3\"\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid grid--2-col grid--1-col@medium\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"spec grid grid--2-col grid--2-col@small grid--row-gap-10\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"spec grid grid--2-col grid--2-col@small grid--row-gap-10\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"spec grid grid--2-col grid--2-col@small grid--row-gap-10\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid grid--2-col grid--1-col@medium\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"spec grid grid--2-col grid--2-col@small grid--row-gap-10\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"spec grid grid--2-col grid--2-col@small grid--row-gap-10\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003eItem Length - Without Packaging (cm): \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e30.5\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003eItem Width - Without Packaging (cm): \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003eHow many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer? \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e189\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003eItem Scale: \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e1:72 Scale\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"spec grid grid--2-col grid--2-col@small grid--row-gap-10\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003eContents (what's in the box) sets:\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd class=\"grid__item spec__description\"\u003ePlastic model kit, instruction sheet, paint layout sheet and decals.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003eFinish: \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePlastic\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003eNumber of Scheme options: \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003eSkill Level: \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"spec grid grid--2-col grid--2-col@small grid--row-gap-10\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"grid__item spec__title\"\u003eFlying Hours: \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Airfix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43111081246786,"sku":"A05280V","price":70.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/5642\/files\/AirfixA05280V.jpg?v=1774305063","url":"https:\/\/www.pollystoys.co.nz\/products\/airfix-1-72-vosper-motor-torpedo-boat","provider":"Polly's Toys \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
