| IM211 | Fretwell Singer Torpedo 1/16th scale
resin kit (may also contain parts made of plastic, wood & metal) .
Similar in construction to the Brooke's Torpedo, what made this device novel was its use of an anti-lift device. Held on the bottom by a mushroom anchor, a second line was attached to a weight shaped like a turtle. If an attempt was made to lift the torpedo, the weighted line would release a firing pin to set off the charge. Wood display base & resin name plate included. Master sculpted by James A Harder. |
