L/F: Torpedoes and Spitfire decals

[The Wooksta!]

Actually, a bit more specific than just that.  I'd like the torpedo and the attachments from the Trumpeter 72nd scale Wyvern.  Ideally, I'd like three altogether, but the more immediate need is for the Attacker torpedo fighter that I'm about to prime.  Actually, all would be for Attackers.

Spitfire decals.  Looking for those from the recent KP/Kopro/Mastercraft Spitfire Mk16 Highback*.  I've one set but would like some extra serials from it for other 16s.

Ta muchly.


*It came in several boxings and all had the same plastic inside, just different decals.  Pity they didn't rework the canopy as it never fits.  Ask me how I know!

Check out Odds & Ordnance website Lee, no torpedo but you get the pylon

Aren't they more wing pylons?  The torpedo attachment gear in the Trumpeter kit is more sway braces and that's more what I'm looking for.  It worked with the Sea Fury torpedo fighters I've done.

It's the center line fuel tank conversion I think Lee, which used the same mount

Some time ago I tried to find some details of the centerline pylon as I wanted to build a Wyvern with the center tank in place.  I had contacted some people at Air-Britain who in turn directed me to a fellow who is or was at Westland.  He sent me some photos of the Wyvern that was used in torpedo carrying/dropping tests and of another with the center drop tank.  He told me that had the torpedo installation been adopted the sway braces would have had the fairing that eventually the drop tank had and that the drop tank pylon is the torpedo pylon. The photos that you might find on the internet or in books are of the test aircraft before the fairing around the sway gear was installed.

I've found my photos (in my recovered files after the computer they were on crashed) but I'm still looking for the email that the fellow sent me.

Ta, although one of the lads on Britmodeller may have what I want.

This is the pic of the center pylon which looks quite wide and rectangle in footprint, it looks as wide as the sway braces are wide.



Odds and Ordnance's pylons look more like these wing pylons used for the same tank.
