Product Description
Dear Modellers, these are the enhanced and detailed torpedo-tube ends for the Revell S100 model in 1:72 scale. The tubes and all details are added to the tubes as well as the numbering. Further one tube is open to be loaded, thus I added the tail of a G7 torpedo to this kit. The torpedo is detailed as well and maintains the loading cradle at the end which was hosted into the torpedo exhaust to pull the torpedo with the winch into the tube. The cradle is reproduce based on original Kriegsmarine picture provide by some of my friends as a better reference, overall I am aware of 4 pictures showing that cradle. Subsequently the hood of the winch at the open torpedo-tube is removed as it was in combat or before leaving the harbor. The open tube maintain a ring inside thus the torpedo cannot be moved further inside than the ring will allow, this additional glue surface should enable to glue the torpedo straight from the tube, plus adding some rope to make it look as a sailor is winching the torpedo into the tube. I framed the 2 tubes and the torpedo to ensure that all is finding their secure way to you, unfortunately it also impact the price.
