Phantome Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Had an idea for a GB that I believe has not been done but which is both very specific and yet has a broad range of possibilities: THINGS WITH TORPEDOES. Basically any instrument of warfare that has ever carried a torpedo can be included - Torpedo bombers (ex: Avengers, Swordfishes, Barracudas) - Fighters armed with torpedoes (Fw 190) - ASW bombers (B-24) - ASW aircraft (Catalina, P-3, Nimrod) - ASW helicopters (Seahawk, Lynx) - Destroyers, frigates, corvettes - PT boats - Submarines Model must visibly include a torpedo or carry one implicitly (bomb bay, torpedo tube). Great opportunity for a mixed sea/air and WW1/WW2/CW/Modern GB! And no shortage of British subjects too... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 How about a D-Day demolition team with Bangalore torpedoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose one could enter a navy kit without torpedo in one GB and one with in the other as a bit of variety... assuming both get through voting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 If I can find one of these: http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/jap/Type_4_Ka-Tsu.php I'm in!

Brad Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Some battleships carried torpedoes as well, Tirpitz and Hood to name two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'd do the FW190 that carried a torpedo if acceptable....this is a good idea, bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I think I have had a Beaufort in the stash so long its fossilised, this might be an excuse to mount a rescue mission cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Just out of interest, would Photon Torpedoes count too.....The sci-fi guys don't get a lot of GB space, so surely it's worth a thought? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
