It's a Nuovi ("Arrow") class MTB, ex-Finnish navy.

Went round three of the them in 2001 in Helsinki with a view to buying one as a toy.

Not for the feint-hearted.

Engines are from a T-72 tank, although I seem to recall there were three, not two.

It would make a great toy - I love hearing those beats! Interesting that the engines were from the T72 and yes, three of them are shown on the original plan.

Finland wasn't allowed to develop MTBs after WW2 though, consequently, these were officially designated MGBs.

This one has a whole website dedicated to its history here...
