Does anyone know who makes metal torpedo markers? I have four that I have had for about 20 years and can't remember where I got them. They are about 3/4 by 1/2 inch ocean base with a running torpedo. They appeqr to be made for 1/600 scale but I used them for 1/2400. Any iinfo would be much appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like the old SDD range of accessories, which are now OOP.

Sadly, the guy that has the molds hasn't done anything with them.

Would love to see the 1/600th SDD range available again, soon.

I have both the SDD torpedo markers and the Houston's Ships version, which is in 1:1000/1:1200 scale. Houston's are only a little bit smaller than SDDs. Houston's should still be available.

Why not get a bunch of pipe cleaners, say, white or light blue?

Those really made the guys pucker when I was playing. Then again, we were all Sailors, so torpedo wakes were properly terrifying.
