Tamiya PT-15

Here is a poor picture of my PT-15, I will try and take some better pics, it’s finished now.

Looks good is it a 1/72 scale?

Mastermodeler:
[:D]Looks good! I’m building the Chinese “knock-off” of this 1/72 Tamiya model. [:slight_smile:]

What paint did you use for the hull below the water-line? What color was recommended by Tamiya?[?] Unfortunately, the Trumpeter subsidiary that distributed my kit does not provide that info[:(][xx(].

Looks really good.

Yes it’s 1/72 scale. The light green on the hull was just mixed up until it looked about right, my kit was in Japanese only and didn’t list a color.

Nicely build!

With regards to the lower hull color: as the kit is part of my ‘still-to-build’ stack, I had a look. Crosslinking the Japanese plans with the English plans reveal that they suggest mixing 1 part XF8 (Flat Blue) with 2 parts X5 (Green).

Cheers,
