Product Description

Model making is my hobby. I have enjoyed this hobby for many years. The parts in my shop were designed by me for my own projects. I decided to make them available for others to use.

Over the years I have been asked many time which items for painting and assembling my model I recomend. The following is some of the items I
use:

Mk 6 was used during World War II and was probably distributed to U.S. allies post-war. It was a 34-in sphere containing 300 lb of TNT (1400 lb total, including sinker) and could be moored in up to 3000 ft of water. Mod 3 had a 100-ft lower antenna, and Mod 4 a 50-ft lower antenna. Versions differ in type of sinker. All of these mines have Hertz horns in addition to their antennas (Mods 14 and 15, approved for service use in 1955 and 1964, respectively, were limited to contact operation). All versions of Mk 6 were withdrawn from U.S. service in 1970.
