Soviet G-5 Motor Torpedo Boat
Soviet G-5 Motor Torpedo Boat in 1/35... - Kits
Quote:
It carried 2 torpedoes in troughs at the stern of the boat, which were launched by being pushed out of the back while connected by a wire, then as the boat turned away the wire was pulled out and the motors started, giving the boat time to turn out of the way. Difficult to aim the torpedoes then so accuracy was a bit hit and miss. In fact they were credited with only a small number of sinkings during the war, though they served on and some were even sold after the war to countries including Spain and Korea........................
The top speed of these boats is given as 53 knots (that is about 61mph)
