The Duke's Shipyards Launches One in July

[dukemaddog]

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:







Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome.

Patrol boats of any kind are awesome!! They just always look cool. Great work on this one

Very sharp looking finish on this Mark! Bravo! 🫡👍🏼👍🏼

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.
