Responsibility details are not available.
A kit of the Japanese Type 93 torpedo in 1:35 scale from the maker Mikromir. It is a model of the weapon itself, not of a vessel, and it is supplied unassembled and unpainted. In 1:35 scale, thanks to the large caliber of the subject, it comes out as a properly long piece that has enough presence on its own to stand as an exhibit in its own right.
The Type 93 was a Japanese naval torpedo of 610 mm, that is, considerably larger than the standard 533 mm caliber then used by most other navies. Its peculiarity was propulsion using oxygen instead of compressed air, which besides a greater range also meant a markedly weaker visible track behind the run. The weapon was meant for the launching tubes of surface vessels, and its size carried over into the design of its carriers. Oxygen propulsion placed high demands on the cleanliness and maintenance of the whole system.
With a long cylindrical body the hardest thing is to keep the axis straight. Glue the halves on a flat surface and fix them with tape along the whole length, or a slight banana will arise that is noticeable from the side. Once it has cured, fill the longitudinal seams with a thin filler and sand along the axis, not across it; scratches across a cylinder cannot be masked. Before painting, wipe the surface with a degreaser and apply a thin base; larger gloss areas are unforgiving of grease from the fingers. To tell the sections apart use shades with the same sheen but a different saturation, and keep the transitions sharp, for example with masking tape. Toward the end fit the propellers and check that their axes lie in one line with the body. The model looks good on a simple wooden base or on a modeled transport trolley.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
