Good day Mates -
I have been taking up some of my time working on a StuG III Ausf G Early production vehicle in 1:35 as a change in pace but I finally got my G7E's from Mikr Mir out of Ukraine.
It took a month to get from there to Buffalo New York, but that is to be expected. :-). They do not look too bad - though I wish the aft parts were more crisp or Photo Etched Brass... oh well. They will be usable. I tried to scan the parts but the scan came out bad, so I will take a photo later to show the sprues.
The instructions show the main body painted stainless steel and the warhead as a burnt metal color with brass colored propellors and fuse. I know that there has been an ongoing discussion in various places about torpedo color. Any modern theories as to color?
Also, when I go to build my cut-away version of the Famous U-35, I would assume she would have as a typical load-out of G7A's?. My U-35 will have the torps more visible as i envision it. Does anyone know or have drawings of the external differences between G7As and G7Es?
