Torpedo Mk-46 for helicopters Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDR4848

Metallic Details MDR4848 is a resin weapons set to build two Mk-46 torpedoes in 1/48, intended for helicopter model projects. External stores are a focal point on many rotorcraft builds, and clean torpedo shape plus sharp fin edges help the loadout look consistent with modern deck and maritime scenes.

This is an upgrade set only (the helicopter model kit is not included). Use it as a universal option for compatible 1/48 helicopter kits that can carry Mk-46 stores (fit and pylons are kit-dependent).

The Mark 46 is a lightweight aerial anti-submarine torpedo. Mounting hardware, adapters, and carry positions vary by helicopter type and version, so match the final configuration to your chosen subject and reference.

For modelers: test-fit the torpedo to the kit’s pylon or rack early and check ground clearance with the landing gear installed. Clean resin seams before adding any fins or small details, then prime to unify the surface. If you are painting high-contrast bands, mask them after the base coat has cured and remove masks carefully to keep edges straight.

FAQ

How many torpedoes are included?

The set is intended to build two Mk-46 torpedoes.

Will these fit any 1/48 helicopter kit?

The set is listed as universal, but pylons and racks differ by kit and helicopter type. Dry-fit and adjust the mounting points to match your kit’s stores system.

When should I install the torpedoes on the model?

Many builders paint and finish the stores separately, then install them near the end of the build. This reduces handling marks and makes final alignment easier.
