But on a (slightly) more serious note. Is there any value in considering a modified torpedo to represent the Russian 65/76 at 1/96 scale? The current 1/72 scale version is 7.something millimetres and a 1/96 scale version of the 65/76 would be very close to that but about a third longer. Possible?[ATTACH=CONFIG]30469[/ATTACH]

A rumored big-deal secrete program going on at Keyport when I was stationed there in the late 60's was the evaluation and reverse engineering going on around a few 'found' Soviet torpedoes. Never saw any evidence of that, but sometimes the proofing ship I was on (AKL-17) had to clear the range when some sneaky-poo stuff was going on -- hey, we never *****ed: liberty in Nanaimo city was pretty damned good!

Possible sure, except for the length -- my launcher is designed for a specific length. As you see here, it's how you paint and mark them that denotes the era and nation of service.

The smaller unit is 1/96, the bigger is 1/72 -- I was experimenting with electric propulsion but found the weight of the drive sank the unit, even using capacitors as power supplies, they weighed more than they displaced. Damn!
