Title: which torpedo on Perkasa?
Post by: dbninja on December 15, 2009, 07:31:15 pm

all

having removed the "broom handles" from my 49" Perkasa....

can anyone tell me which make/model of torpedo was actually fitted to the real Perkasa?

have scoured the internet but no joy

plenty of parts available for the small one, but nothing i can find for the big-un...   that doesnt look like a painted broom handle! :embarrassed:

I seem to remember a major article in the magazine "Scale Models" around 1970-71 which covered the armament of the Perkasa in great depth - the article was background information on the launch of the Tamiya 1/72 model kit. Has anyone got this magazine - it would definitely answer the question.
