Torpedo video from Japan

We are glad to have Kanji Inoue a board this forum. Welcome Kanji!

Here's a video he sent me that I'm sure will drive you all to add this application to your boats this year. I know I will.

Nice touch with that stern tube! What scale was that Type VII? Looks like the doors and launch door are linked? Hope he posts some pics of his set up :D

Is this your own desigh,or is this system on the market.Are the breech doors connected to the outer doors.Are the torpedos powered or air operated.
I`m thinking about doing a larger scale boat"1/40" and I am very impressed with your system and would like to see more on it.I gave some thought to adding a torpedo system but it looks really complex to me.

Hi Gents,
That Type VII is not mine. Kit is from Japanese small manufacture called Hidy.

Scale is 1/32, IIRC, and uses propel gas ballast system (main and for/aft trim tanks). Torp launching is also gas propelled.
Detail is good - hull is too clean for my taste, though. I prefer wrinkles on my OTW Type VII (don't ask me when it's finished).

Other features are;
Water level sensor that automatically shuts blow valve
Signal loss sensor (failsafe)
Working periscopes
Pre-cut limber holes
Pre-soldered handrails

You probably hate the price of Hidy kit :)

How much for a boat like that, U.S.?

3 x OTW type VIIC = about $4000 :)

Gantu,

For small movies you'll have to upload them to a server. Or send them to me and I'll put them on my server.

For Docs yes PDF is fine.

Thanks Gantu,

Steve

when David M. gets his version going its going to be impressive . That's when he gets a chance to work on it which who, know's when that will be. But it' s a nice thought for the futhure , firing topedos, that just makes any sub complete. Terror of the deep.
