WW II German Torpedo Type G7e (3 pcs)

Germany entered the war with two types of G7 torpedoes of standard calibre of 53.3cm. The G7e version was powered by an electric motor which means that there were no trace of the torpedo on the water surface and it also helped to conceal the submarine. There were also disadvantages of the electric drive, it was slower than standard steam-powered torpedoes and it needed frequent maintenance which was carried out also during the voyage in the torpedo sections of the submarine. The set contains three detailed replicas of G7e torpedoes. Figurines of the German sailors handling the torpedo inside the submarine are in our F72 252 set.
