1/100 DKM Prinz Eugen Torpedo Tubes

1/100 DKM Prinz Eugen Torpedo Tubes: Precision Strike Capability

Complete the midships detailing of your Admiral Hipper-class heavy cruiser with the meticulously crafted 1/100 DKM Prinz Eugen Torpedo Tubes. As the primary short-range surface strike weapon for German heavy cruisers, these triple-mount tubes were a defining feature of the Prinz Eugen’s silhouette. At the expansive 1/100 scale, this replica provides the mechanical complexity and historical weight required for museum-grade naval builds.

Engineering Precision & Tactical Fidelity

• High-Fidelity Technical Detail: German naval torpedo mounts were sophisticated pieces of machinery, featuring specialized operator stations and pneumatic firing systems. At the 1/100 scale, this set captures those nuances with exquisite fidelity. The model includes the three G7a torpedo tubes, the intricate rotating platform, and the protective splinter shields (where applicable), ensuring the architectural sharpness required for a professional display.
• Premium High Detail Resin: Crafted in professional-grade High Detail Resin (Grey/White), these components offer a level of surface smoothness that surpasses traditional plastic or wooden parts. This material is specifically chosen to preserve the fine details of the tube caps, training gears, and mounting hardware—features that are critical at 1/100 scale to achieve a realistic, "heavy metal" appearance.
• Intelligent Hollowed Design: To ensure these prominent deck fittings remain lightweight and easy to secure—especially for those building large-scale remote-controlled (R/C) vessels—the tubes feature a specialized hollowed construction. This engineering choice preserves the structural integrity of the triple mount while reducing top-side weight, helping to maintain the perfect "sit" and stability of your 1/100 scale hull.

A Canvas for Kriegsmarine Authenticity

Unpainted for Total Customization: Arriving in a professional unpainted finish, these torpedo tubes serve as a blank canvas for your historical vision. The resin surface is optimized for high-quality primers and specialized Kriegsmarine palettes:

• The "Atlantic" Scheme: Apply the standard Hellgrau (Light Grey) or Dunkelgrau (Dark Grey) common to the heavy cruiser fleet.
• Realistic Weathering: The large scale is perfect for applying advanced techniques like metallic wear on the training rings, subtle grease effects on the elevation racks, and light salt-fading on the tube bodies to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.

Key Features & Specifications

• Accurate 1/100 Scale: Precision-scaled for seamless integration with large-format Admiral Hipper, Blücher, and Prinz Eugen hulls.
• Triple-Mount Configuration: Faithfully replicates the geometry of the standard 53.3 cm (21-inch) torpedo launching system.
• High-Quality Resin: Offers the professional surfaces and crisp edges required for competition-level display models.
• Historian-Approved Accuracy: Researched to ensure the operator platforms and tube spacing reflect authentic WWII naval blueprints.

The Essential Armament for Your Cruiser Build

The 1/100 DKM Prinz Eugen Torpedo Tubes are more than just a detail; they represent the devastating firepower of the German surface fleet. Elevate your large-scale build with a component that reflects the sheer technical complexity and operational reality of the "Lucky Ship" and her sisters.
