Catalog (click here)
Scale: 1/32. Notice: the Lindberg kit's torpedo tubes are 12% over-scale. These 3D-printed models have been intentionally designed 12% larger than 1/32 scale to better fit the Lindberg kits' torpedo tube parts. The outer diameter of the breech door tube of these 3D-printed models = 20.33 mm. Please measure the outer diameter of your model kit's torpedo tube to ensure these 3D-printed breech doors will be a good fit. If the outer diameter of your model's torpedo tubes is slightly smaller than 20.33 mm, these parts should be a good match. A set of true 1/32 scale (smaller) torpedo tube breech doors is available separately (click here).
Set contains 4 torpedo tube breech doors for PT boats (2 port and 2 starboard).

This set of four models represents the doors on the aft end of Mk.18 Torpedo Tubes mounted to many World War Two US Navy PT Boats such as the famous PT-109 commanded by then-Lieutenant John F. Kennedy. The Mk.18 Torpedo Tube was used early in the war until replaced by roll-off racks for aircraft-type Mk.13 torpedoes. A good reference for PT boats can be found on NavSource (click here).
