Nope... I just bought more Avengers

I did fashion a propeller for one of my Avenger torpedos, however, and that greatly improved the look.

I was at one point thinking about making the Fw 190 F-8/U2 from a 1/32 21st F-8, which if I remember correctly, was the torpedo variant of the F-8. I couldn't think of a way to make a torpedo look right though. I had a start with a large bore pen tube, but from there I would have needed some skills much greater than my own to make it look smooth and neat. I really just wanted it to bolt right onto one of my F-8s, kind of inaccurate, but representative.

what about a 1/35 Torp, Alloy

Italeri just released a 1/35 S-boot, and i am sure aftermarket torps are going to show up soon in resin, although there might be 1/32 torps for some revell kit..I don't know about...or when the 1/32 Ju88A shows up someone might make Torps for that plane on the aftermarket.

Would be close enough. =P I've done scale crossing with my Pak-40 kit. But yeah I'm just wondering how I'm gonna mount it, I guess I'd just have to drill holes in it. How much would something like that run?
