Greetings!
I have two resin German torpedoes I wish to display with my Revell 1/72 U-boat and have no idea what color they should be. Some sites said metal finish overall and others show black/metal finish. Would appreciate any advice out there regarding finishing these two pieces.
Thank you
I’ve been told that they were like this:
Bronze colored warhead and silver bodies …
Found this in my files.
I also have pic silver body and OD fins not sure what the nose is like, also the U-505 has what appears to be a white with blue(?) nose on display, some also have the nose painted yellow.
Best bet would be silver w/ bronze nose.
Apart from all the colours of the different types of torpedoes… Please note that some of those types were available only later in the war. As the TII or G7e torpedo was the standard torpedo of the war you might wanna emphasise your searches on that type.
This website shows a good idea of what the torpedoes looked like:
