| Perhaps one of the most feared weapons in the German Naval arsenal was the deadly torpedo. Launched from a variety of U-Boat types, these fish almost cut off shipping to England at the crucial stage of the war in the Atlantic. White Ensign Models has produced this replacement Torpedo set to help give your 1/72 German Naval Vessels more realism. Now you can arm them with a realist G7A compressed air or G7E electric powered torpedo variants. | |||
| HULL PARTS | |||
| The set consists of two nicely molded resin torpedo bodies. There is little room for detailing on such a simple shape, but you can clearly see the warhead joint groove, as well as the recessed fastener pockets. | Click images
