Italeri can always be relied upon to release something unusual, and this new Biber midget submarine is a fine example. In terms of detail there is much to like, with fine weld seems around the hull, reasonable internal parts in the crewman's cabin and excellent torpedoes (with alternative propulsion sections). Besides the three grey sprues, there is also a small amount of etched-brass and clear acetate windows. Three markings options are provided, all having a base coat of what Italeri recommends as Modelmaster 1723 Grey, but one sub has intricate, three-colour camouflage over the top and shark mouth artwork at the bow. Colour references throughout are for Modelmaster, but obviously, use your favourite brands if preferred. The actual base Grey is probably the Kriegsmarine colour Dunkelgrau 51r which is stocked by White Ensign Models in its Colourcoats range (KM 02), which we used.
