The Ship Model Forum

After finishing my backdating of the Italeri 1/35th PT 596 kit to the 495 boat circa Oct. '44, I decided to try the 1/72 scale PT109 from Revell and build it as the 169 boat circa Jan.'44. In aug.'43 the 169 was on patrol with the 109 the night she was lost.
Here is a link to a album I've kept as the 169 build progresses. caution-These are BIG photos.

Comments and suggestions appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

Looks great!!!!!
What aftermarket do you use?

The PE is from WEM. It is their PT109 set. The roll off racks are also WEM, Mk13 resin & PE set, but the torpedoes in it are undersized in diameter so I made new ones using 3d printing to test it out and will have hi-res SLA versions with more detail and smoother surfaces shortly.
