Mk.46 torpedo

i sent you a pm

Geez , the amount of spares i have for them 🙂 in all seriousness i do :diablo:

Think Amberly might have a few Pigs spare at the moment.There are Caribous siiting in a paddock out here,nah the torps would have to go in reverse to keep up with them.
Collins in the Bribie passage,now that would upset the kite surfers dude 😀

Ummmmm unless its a field mod :p, the Torp parts were bought at a scrap yard years ago in WA and are now in shed storage for when I get a surplus f-111 or orion or even a Collins Sub ….now that would look good parked in the Bribie Passage.

Strange

Didn,t know Boomers carried Torps mate??:D

Hi Ausflyboy,

Would it be possible for you to send a few pics with details & measurements?

Hi seaking677 , these are the parts I can get to easily. If they interest you, give me a PM and i’ll send the measurements to you.

Cheers to all

There is a little aviation museum at Davidstow Airfield in Cornwall that, I believe, have a complete Mk46 practice weapon.
Might be worth an enquiry.

This gives the dimensions

Mk 46 Torpedo

The Davidstow Airfield and Cornwall at War Museum has a Mk44 torpedo on its trolley under the Fairy Gannet. It was a lightweight torpedo that was used until superceded by the Mk 46.
You’ve probably solved your problem by now but if I can help further PM me.

Hi Hawx ace,

Many thanks for the idea, it’s certainly worth a try.

Nigel

My first thought would be to get one miniature plastic model and multiply its dimension by scale. But I don’t know if it is available and by which company.

Sorry I cannot be of more help…
