After some long and sometimes difficult effort my Tamiya 1/72 scale Japanese PT-15 has been completed and is now ready for commissioning. There are a few parts that are still missing, but they are minor enough I can overlook them until I fond them. Here she is ready for delivery to my Japanese fleet: ![](https://modelersalliance.org/galleries/japanese-pt-15-motor-torpedo-boat-i-jpg.130892/full) ![](https://modelersalliance.org/galleries/japanese-pt-15-motor-torpedo-boat-ii-jpg.130893/full) ![](https://modelersalliance.org/galleries/japanese-pt-15-motor-torpedo-boat-iii-jpg.130894/full) Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome.

Thank you Brandon! Yes, she s a big girl! I think she's bigger than the Schnellboot, I'll find out later when I try to get a group picture of all my motor patrol/torpedo boats together.....if I can find a big enough flat space to shoot said pic!
Thank you Kyle! I agree and I want to build as many of these 1/72 scale boats as I can find, military AND civilian!
Thank you Carlos!

I missed this earlier - that's really nice looking Mark. Lot's of great detail and nice work painting. Never seen green anti-fouling paint but I like it.

Thank you John! I was also surprised at the green anti-fouling paint, but that's what they used. It is pretty different, making this more unique among my boat collection.
