1/72 MPM Torpedoes are aerial torpedo parts designed and 3D printed in resin in-house by MPM Hobbies for 1/72 scale aircraft modelers. Use them to build naval strike loadouts, add ordnance detail, and finish display projects. Explore 1/48 MPM Torpedoes and 1/72 MPM Bombs.
Aerial torpedo parts in 1/72 scale let modelers represent naval strike configurations with accurate proportions and clean surface detail. MPM Hobbies designs and 3D prints this ordnance in resin in-house, so the parts are made for the tolerances scale builders expect. Torpedo loadouts change the character of a finished aircraft, shifting it from a bare airframe to a mission-configured subject.
Resin parts benefit from a careful cleanup pass before assembly. Remove support nubs with a fresh blade, then refine the contact points with fine abrasives so the body stays cylindrical. A quick wash and a thin primer coat reveal any remaining seams and give paint a consistent surface to grip. Browse Hobby Painting Accessories for the basics of that prep stage.
Alignment carries most of the realism in an ordnance load. Dry-fit each piece against the fuselage or pylon and check the centerline from the front and from directly below before committing adhesive. Small shims or a pin can hold a heavier resin part square while the bond cures. Consistent spacing between paired stores reads as precision even at a glance.
Ordnance finishes reward restrained, layered work: a uniform base coat, subtle tonal variation, and light weathering concentrated around fins and banding. Thinned washes settle into panel details without flooding the smooth body sections. An airbrush gives the most even coverage on curved surfaces, and crisp banding relies on careful masking. See Airbrushing Essentials and Precision Masking for that stage.
Modelers often work across scales and ordnance types on the same shelf. Larger-scale torpedo parts show more surface refinement, while matching bombs and missiles round out mixed loadouts. Compare 1/48 MPM Torpedoes, 1/72 MPM Bombs, and 1/72 MPM Missiles when planning a build.
A dependable bench setup makes detail work faster and cleaner: sharp blades, sanding sticks, tweezers, and good adhesives all reduce handling damage on small resin parts. Aftermarket detail sets pair naturally with ordnance upgrades on the same airframe. Explore Tools and Sets and 1/72 Aircraft Aftermarket Parts.
