Model making is my hobby. I have enjoyed this hobby for many years. The parts in my shop were designed by me for my own projects. I decided to make them available for others to use.
Over the years I have been asked many time which items for painting and assembling my model I recomend. The following is some of the items I
use:Torpedo Mk 14, developed as a replacement for the Mk 10 torpedo had a longer range than the Mk 10 and had a 100-pound heavier warhead charge. This torpedo was the primary submarine-launched, antisurface ship torpedo used in World War II until the introduction of the electric Torpedo Mk 18. Approximately 4,000,000 tons of Japanese shipping were sunk by the Mk 14 torpedo. Originally introduced for use as mechanically-set torpedo, the Mk 14 was modified for use with modern fire control systems (and designated Mod 5). This torpedo is still in service use. Torpedo Mk 14 was developed by the Naval Torpedo Station, Newport, R.I. and approximately 13,000 were produced during the second World War by the Naval Torpedo Stations in Newport; Alexandria, Va.; and Keyport, Wash.; and the Naval Ordnance Plant, Forest Park, Ill.
