Now if I can just craft a few of these in 1/48th and 1/72nd scale there could be some interesting weapons load outs for a couple of strike aircraft
Had to edit my OP to clean up a couple of dead links to pages that I no longer maintain at FaceBook.
Now that I have clarified why the edit was done I can move on to the other details I wanted to share regarding the Photon Torpedo. There is a maker at Shapeways that has created and is offering for sale the Photon Torpedo in several scales.
I ordered several of the 1:72nd scale Photon Torpedo models and was quite pleased with the product received. While the price is a bit steep and I expressed my concerns to the maker of the model he obliged me by offering a 1:72nd scale Photon Torpedo without the internal details which reduced the overall cost just a bit.
My next objective is to convince the maker that he should offer the Photon Torpedo in 1:48th scale. At this point, the model is available but the price is rather unattractive. The maker stated that when he can find the time he will attempt to reduce the cost by making adjustments to the model. Now it is hurry up and wait on the 1:48th scale model to see the price come down to something more affordable. Until then we have to hurry up and wait...
