As the tin lid says, I am looking for two 1/72 airborne acoustic torpedo models.   Does anybody have any - say from a helicopter kit - or know where I can get some?   I am willing to pay for shipping downunder.

The Airfix Shackleton MR2 has a pair of Mk30 Torpedo's as well as a pair of MK44

Doesn't the old Airfix Sea King have some too, along with a pair of depth charges?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

I'm fairly certain that Airwaves did some too, got something like above in my stash.

EDIT: just found the Airwaves torpedos I thought I had. FYI, RN Mk.46's item# AES72129 (IIRC I got them from Hannants)
If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

Problem is the "minimum order value" that Hannant's imposes before they will ship overseas to us in the Dominions.   I cannot just order the torpedoes.

What I need is some kind modeller to rifle through their spare parts box and find me a pair and send them to me...  Hint! Hint!   :thumbsup:

Hannanntts minimum order is a pain sometimes.

I have an old Airfix Sea King in a bag in the shed.  I'll have a rummage to see if it has torpedoes in it.
I also have the first Airfix Shack (is that an MR2?) and I won't be using any torpedoes so if it has what you want you can have them.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

That'd work nicely, thank'ee very much.   :thumbsup:

OK.
Airfix Sea King (the old one that had the Apollo capsule rescue markings) has 4 skinny torps.  Airfix Shack has 2 skinny and 2 fat torps.

I'll send you a pm.
