Mk. XIII torpedo specs
Posted by PipePlayer on Thursday, July 9, 2009 10:52 AM

Hey folks,

Where can I find the dimensions for the Mk. XIII torpedo for a cheap (read free!) price?  I'm thinking about making a master and resin copies for a couple of PT-Boat projects I'm doing?  Any help at all will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

Thanks Al!  That's a big help! 

Now...do you (or anyone else) happen to know the distance from the tip of the warhead to the point where the torpedo begins to taper back to the propellers?

Thanks in advance!!
