Mikro Mir MM35-003 G7E/T3 german torpedo Scale 1:35 Plastic Model Submarine Kit

G7E/T3 torpedo is represented in this 1/35 scale plastic model kit from Mikro Mir, depicting the electrically powered torpedo type used by German submarines during World War II.

The G7e series was developed as an electric alternative to earlier steam-powered torpedoes. Its electric propulsion reduced visible wake and smoke, making it more difficult to detect after launch. Variants such as the T3 were widely associated with German submarine operations during the Second World War.

G7E/T3 - World War II Electric Torpedo

The torpedo represented in this kit illustrates an important technological step in underwater naval weapons of the 1930s and 1940s. Electric propulsion systems allowed submarines to deploy torpedoes with reduced surface disturbance compared to earlier propulsion methods.

For modelers: Long cylindrical subjects benefit from careful seam cleanup along the body section. Painting the propulsion unit and control surfaces as separate subassemblies can help maintain sharp transitions between metal finishes and propeller details.
