Enhance your World War II aircraft models with authentic 1/72 scale aerial torpedoes from MPM Hobbies. Our collection features meticulously detailed resin replicas of the legendary Mark 13 Aerial Torpedo, the primary air-launched torpedo used by United States Navy and Marine Corps aircraft during the Pacific Theater. Each torpedo is precision cast to capture the distinctive fins, nose cone assembly, and body sections that defined these formidable weapons.
These museum-quality accessories are essential for modelers building accurate representations of torpedo bombers including the TBF Avenger, SB2C Helldiver, and PBY Catalina. The 1/72 scale torpedoes complement our extensive range of 1/72 MPM Bombs, 1/72 MPM Missiles, and 1/72 MPM Ordnance Pods and Rockets to create comprehensive weapons loadouts. Modelers working in other scales can explore our 1/48 MPM Torpedoes and 1/32 MPM Torpedoes collections for larger scale projects.
MPM Hobbies manufactures these torpedoes using advanced 3D scanning and printing technology to ensure historical accuracy and exceptional detail. Each piece arrives ready for painting and weathering, allowing you to achieve authentic finishes that match period photographs and technical documentation. For additional information about aerial torpedo development and deployment, visit MPM Hobbies (US) on Scalemates, the comprehensive plastic modeling database.
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.
