1/350 IJN 610 mm (24in) Type 93 Torpedo Tubes Set

1/350 IJN 610 mm (24in) Type 93 Torpedo Tubes Set (2pcs): The Long Lance Strike

Bring the "Long Lance" striking power of the Imperial Japanese Navy to your fleet with the meticulously engineered 1/350 Scale IJN 610 mm (24in) Type 93 Torpedo Tubes Set. As the primary offensive armament for Japan's elite destroyer force, the Type 93 torpedo was a revolutionary weapon system that defined surface engagements in the Pacific. This set of two launchers captures the mechanical complexity and lethal silhouette of these iconic systems with museum-grade precision.

Engineering Precision & Tactical Fidelity

In 1/350 scale, the torpedo batteries are the defining visual feature of a destroyer's midships. This model captures the Type 93 launchers with exquisite fidelity, featuring the accurately rendered triple or quadruple tube clusters, intricate loading mechanisms, and structural mounting platforms. Every line is rendered with architectural sharpness, reflecting the specialized industrial engineering required for the IJN's high-stakes nocturnal torpedo tactics.

• Historically Accurate Configuration: Meticulously researched from original naval archives to ensure a definitive, true-to-life representation for your Kagero, Yukikaze, Hatsukaze, and other destroyer class projects.
• Exact Scale Proportions: Faithfully reproduced to 1/350 scale for seamless integration with professional-grade IJN warship models.
• Complete 2-Piece Solution: Provides two independent launcher units, offering complete torpedo detailing for a standard destroyer's armament layout.
• Technical Depth: Unlike simplified kit parts, these resin components feature scale-appropriate relief on the operator stations and tube caps, creating realistic shadows and mechanical depth.

Premium Material: High Detail Resin Grey

To ensure your destroyer’s primary strike weapons showcase the finest technical textures, this set is crafted from professional High Detail Resin Grey. This material offers the ultimate foundation for elite shipwrights:

• Exceptional Feature Definition: The resin captures minute details—from the structural rivets on the tube casings to the delicate texture of the loading gear—with surgical precision.
• Professional Smooth Finish: Provides an ultra-smooth, non-porous base optimized for high-quality primers and specialized Kure Gray or Sasebo Gray palettes.
• Superior Quality & Durability: Crafted by distefan 3D print for discerning modelers, ensuring clean surfaces and dimensional integrity for a professional-grade finish.

Key Features & Specifications

• Accurate 1/350 Scale: Specifically engineered for perfect, historically proportional integration with standard 1/350 scale Imperial Japanese Navy models.
• Museum-Grade Realism: Captures the unique industrial aesthetic of the world's most advanced WWII-era torpedo technology with absolute technical clarity.
• Unpainted Finish: Provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision. Recreate the factory-fresh look of a new commissioning or the salt-pitted appearance of a veteran on station.
• The Definitive Upgrade: Replaces simplified or underscaled kit parts with a sophisticated, historically correct torpedo suite.

A Canvas for Naval Artistry

Unpainted for Total Customization: Arriving in its raw resin finish, the Type 93 Torpedo Tubes Set serves as the ultimate starting point for advanced weathering:

• The "Imperial Navy" Look: Apply a base of Sasebo Naval Gray. The high-relief detail is ideal for pin-washes, allowing dark oils to define the individual tube seams and highlighting the mechanical complexity of the mounting structures.
• Realistic Weathering: The 1/350 scale is the ideal playground for detailing. Apply realistic "grease-staining" near the traverse gears and add subtle metallic "scuffing" to the access hatches to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.
