WW II German Torpedo Type G7a (3 pcs)

Germany entered the war with two versions of G7 torpedoes of standard calibre of 53.3cm. The G7a version was steam-powered and therefore the torpedo was leaving a trace on the water surface and  was also noisy. However, it was significantly faster than the electric powered G7e version. The G7a was used only in the early stages of the war and it also needed a regular maintenance even during the voyage at sea in the torpedo sections of the submarine. The set contains three detailed G7a torpedoes.  Figurines of the German sailors handling the torpedo inside the submarine are in our F72 252 set.
