Title: WW2 torpedoes
Post by: Kerick on December 26, 2015, 05:04:38 AM
LF two WW2 aerial torpedoes for a possible future project. They will be hung under wing so fairly accurate would be preferred. I can order and pay for some if someone can give me a proper direction to search. I tried Quick Boost but no joy.

White Ensign used to make some.  Not sure if they're back on the market from the new owner yet or not though.  Worth a look.

They list the Mk 13 on their website as out of stock.

This looks really good. It includes the "pickle barrel" and the plywood stabilizer. Thanks!

Has anyone heard of ARMA Hobby? They have a Mk 13 torpedo for super cheap on their website. They are from Poland so who knows what the shipping is. Just wondering about their quality. The SIGA and Pavla seem a little hard to find right now.

There is an eight-pack of 1:72nd scale MkXIII torpedoes available from shapeways at this link: http://shpws.me/M8hu (http://shpws.me/M8hu)

A search of Shapeways (https://www.shapeways.com/) proper will net you other torpedo shapes if you are not excited about the price on the item above.
