    I carefully positioned the pix so the bottom half didn't show and got my wife over to look at it. She totally bought into it until I scrolled down.

    The model is extremely well done. The torpedo is wrong though. The boxed end shown was the Mk 13-6 version. At Midway, Torpedo 8 was still using the Mk 13-2 without that addition to the end of the torpedo...

    I suppose you fabricated that internal wing rib. I doubt if the model came with it.

    Love the fuzzy smoke. Don't want to know what it's made of.

    8-T-14 would be George Gay, the sole survivor of Torpedo 8, and his gunner Bob Huntington, sadly lost.
