Are there any aftermarket makers of 1/32 - 1/35 scale Mark XIII torpedoes?

 Hello everyone!

              After recovering two Lindberg PT-109's from the scrap heap of a yard sale, and noticing that there are 1/32 Grumman Avengers and 1/35 PT Boats from Italeri out there now, is anyone - or does anyone know of someone - who is making Mark 13 torpedoes in that scale?  HR Products had everything else for a conversion to late war PT Elco, but, sadly, no torpedoes.  Three attempts by myself to "manufacture" torpedoes met with no two alike.  If anyone has any information that could be helpful, please respond to either this post or email at theoracle7@aol.com.  Any help is gratefully appreciated!

Thanks

Drew

I scratch built some MK 13 torpedoes from Estes rocket nose cones, plastic florists (test) tubes and styrene sheet.

Hmm, my copy of Hellions of the Deep has some nice line drawings of the WWII USN torpedoes; but I now wonder if there is a set of good scale drawings out there.

I may have to go browsing AFD & the like.
