These 3D printed coach roof torpedo vents are a highly detailed and essential accessory for enhancing the realism of 4mm scale (OO gauge) model coaches, particularly those modeled after British Railways (BR) prototypes. Accurately drawn from original drawings, these torpedo vents were commonly found on various BR Mk1 coach variants, as well as Mk1 based second generation multiple units like the 4SUB Electric Multiple Unit (EMU). Such vents played a crucial role in providing roof ventilation for real-life coaches and are now replicated for scale models to improve authenticity.
Each pack contains 24 finely detailed torpedo vents, making it a convenient option for modelers looking to add a significant amount of detail to multiple coaches or projects. The vents are made from unpainted resin, and while the color of the resin may vary between batches, they are designed to be easily paintable. With a simple application of acrylic or enamel paints, modelers can paint the vents to blend seamlessly with the rest of their train models, ensuring a realistic and cohesive look.
For ease of use, the vents can be affixed to the model’s roof using standard adhesives like cyanoacrylate (superglue) or epoxy resin. A small pilot hole to help with location will be required.
These vents are particularly suitable for anyone building or enhancing BR Mk1 coaches, but they can also be used to upgrade or customize other compatible models. By adding these detailed torpedo vents, modelers can greatly improve the overall appearance and authenticity of their trains. Whether you’re an experienced hobbyist or just starting in the world of model railways, this 24-pack offers a cost-effective and efficient way to elevate the detail and realism of your 4mm scale collection.
