strawberry 9 Posted September 25, 2019 Share #1 Posted September 25, 2019 I haven't been very active lately but thought I post some pics of my last project. This is the Elco 80ft PT Boat by Italeri Models. It was a fun build and fit together well for the most part. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of 1/35 scale Navy figures on the market that I found. This set is the PT-109 Crew set also by Italeri. There isn't much detail to them and they fit together horribly. I had to do a lot of filling to close the seams. There is pretty much no facial detail at all. I did like the poses though and wanted figures that were doing chores on deck. Hope you enjoy. My next project is the 1/32 scale B-17 E/F and I'm really looking forward to getting it started. It's huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtyScout Posted September 26, 2019 Share #21 Posted September 26, 2019 That is an excellent piece of work. Great detail and the day of maintenance routine really gives it a sense of realism. Semper Fi. Manny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eightball Posted September 27, 2019 Share #25 Posted September 27, 2019 Very nice, I never realised that the torpedo casings were copper. I always assumed they would be grey or green, to stop reflections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
