Mikro Mir MM35-021 Japan Type 93 torpedo Scale 1:35 Plastic Model Torpedo Kit

Type 93 torpedo is represented in this 1/35 scale plastic model kit from Mikro Mir, depicting the large oxygen-powered naval torpedo used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II.

The Type 93 torpedo was developed in the 1930s as a long-range naval weapon designed for surface ships. Its propulsion system used compressed oxygen rather than compressed air, which allowed greater operational range and reduced visible exhaust in the water compared with earlier torpedo designs.

Type 93 - Japanese Naval Torpedo of World War II

This torpedo type became associated with Japanese naval operations during the Second World War and represented a significant technological step in torpedo propulsion systems. Its large size and distinctive configuration make it a recognizable example of mid-20th century naval weapon engineering.

For modelers: Cylindrical naval equipment models benefit from careful alignment of body sections and precise seam cleanup along the length of the torpedo. Painting the propeller assembly separately can help preserve crisp detail in the propulsion section.
