Throughout the Second World War the U.S. Navy deployed a lot of three types of motor torpedo boats: the Higgins calculating 78 feet and ELCO calculating 77 and 80 legs. Every model could be distinguished through the other people, besides by size, by setup, tools and different other details. The 80 foot ELCOs represented the most numerous course: these people were realised in five show, for an overall total of about 300 examples Built in mahogany and forced by three 1,350cv Packard 4M-2500 engines (taken up to 1,500 inside latest series), these vessels easily exceeded 40 knots. The apparatus and tools were constantly updated and enhanced thanks to experience acquired in the industry together with progressive change of role: using the progress for the conflict, in reality, the PT Boats left the first task of attacking and cutting off the traffic, dealing with the part of gunships and running inside proximity of coastline or in networks. The Italeri model reproduces the PT 596 and an 80-foot ELCO through the last batch produced.
