Hi all,
I'm begging help again please.

I'm looking for references for a typical German WW2 torpedo, a type that might have been carried by aircraft, Junkers Ju88 etc.

I would be most grateful for any help and guidance.

Many thanks
Peter

Been a question in the back of my mind for a while now. When you find out will you share with us?
Cheers!

Hi Rick.
So far I've found the G7a and G7e were quite common choices, but unconfirmed.
I'm trying to find the correct colours too.

Fingers crossed.

Peter

Try "Lufttorpedo (LT)" as a term for google and others. This is the description for what we talk about, here.
There was various kind of this sort of torpedo.





Please note that it´s a strong indication for "practice torpedo" when the warhead is "bichrome" (red/white)

I hope it helps.

Best

Alex

many thanks, a great help.

I'm doing some project profiles for carrier based multi role aircraft and need the torpedo info for these.

Best regards
Peter

I was thinking on these lines last week, when i get around to doing the Revell JU88, and thought torpedo bomber! and as i did the Italeri S-Boat a year or so ago, said to myself [ yes i talk to myself ] can i use the torpedo's off the Italeri kit for the Revell one, true the plane is 1/32nd and the boat 1/35th, there's a few millimeters in it, and slung under the plane could one get away with it!
G7 torpedo was 716.3 cm long = 23.5 foot long, = 24.54mm in 1/35th
The Italeri kit one is 22 mm but would need to be 26.85mm in 1/32nd.
i'm getting a headache now!

AWESOME, tank u (times three) for the 2 photographs,if you have more close up pictures of German (WWII Luftwaffe) leading edges of wings (bomb -torpedo & droptanks or gunpods- racks are good too, actually every luftwaffeplane of that era i like) be welcome, you help me lot, tank.
