Historical Accuracy for Your Torpedo Bomber Models
The aerial torpedoes in this collection represent the cutting edge of World War II naval aviation weaponry. The Mark 13 torpedo underwent continuous refinement throughout the war, evolving from an unreliable weapon in 1942 to one of the most effective anti-shipping weapons by 1945. Our 1/72 scale replicas capture these historical details with precision molding that reveals the characteristic wooden tail fins, suspension lugs, and streamlined nose fairing that reduced water entry shock.
Modelers building Pacific Theater dioramas will appreciate how these torpedoes integrate seamlessly with popular aircraft kits from manufacturers like Academy, Hasegawa, and Airfix. Pair these torpedoes with our 1/72 Rocket Pods and 1/72 Gun Pods to create mixed ordnance loadouts that reflect actual combat configurations. For comprehensive weapons displays, explore our complete 1/72 MPM Ordnance Pods and Rockets collection.
Each torpedo is manufactured by MPM Hobbies using state-of-the-art resin casting techniques that preserve fine surface details including panel lines, access hatches, and attachment points. The lightweight resin material is easy to work with using standard modeling tools and accepts paint readily for authentic weathering effects. Whether you are recreating the Doolittle Raid, the Battle of Midway, or late-war strikes against Japanese shipping, these torpedoes provide the authenticity your model deserves.
