ON HOLD! Just in today, WWII USN Aircraft Torpedo. This item was a nearly full-sized version used to train personnel on handling the torpedo. Has lugs for a bomb rack, fins, and a modified nose to carry from the front. It is heavy- it took two of us to manhandle half of it on the truck. You handle shipping but I will assist. Photos will come soon. Price $1000 plus freight. Loading assistance is available at pick-up point. ON HOLD!

Hey John,

Any word on the torpedo? It's just what we could use for the PV-2. We are ready to buy, trade or combinations thereof. Just let me know.

Thanks,
Taigh

That would look great in the belly of the 'Poon! Maybe a few copies made of fiberglass would be a bit lighter though :lol:
