Recommended for:
Notice: the Lindberg kit's torpedo tubes are 12% over-scale. These models are accurately 1/32 scale. The diameter of the portion of the 3D-printed warhead insert that fits inside your plastic kit's torpedo tube is 15.8 mm. These 3D-printed parts are designed to precisely fit Model Monkey-designed torpedo tubes, available separately. The Lindberg kit's torpedo tube parts are not accurately scaled. If you intend to use these inserts with your Lindberg kit's torpedo tube parts, please measure the inner diameter of your kit's torpedo tubes and compare your measurement to 15.8 mm to determine how well these parts will fit.
These models represent the exposed warhead of the Bliss-Leavitt Mk.8 torpedo fired from US Navy PT boats, among other USN and Royal Navy Lend-Lease-procured vessels, during World War Two. When loaded into the torpedo tube, the Mk.8's domed warhead was exposed. A good reference for PT boats can be found on NavSource (click here).
Features:- precisely scaled, outer diameter of exactly 21 scale inches
- triangular end-cap, a plate installed in the field to prevent the torpedo from falling out of the tube in rough seas (install the warhead so that one of the plate's corners points up)
These parts are not 3D-printed copy of any plastic model kit's parts. Therefore, it may not be the same size or shape of your plastic kit's parts. Some adjustment of your plastic kit's parts may be needed for best fit.
