Italeri 1:35 PT Boat
Nearly finished with just a few smaller parts and decals to be fitted. A very straightforward and enjoyable build which I can heartily recommend!

Amazing job, Kevin!
Love the painting and weathering!
Many thanks Spiros! I hope you are safe and well?
I've just realised there are no overall shots of the boat...I will have to put some additional photo's up!
Great work, Kevin @kevinrowbotham
Weathering and painting is indeed very nice.
This must be quite a large build with 1:35
Hi John, many thanks! It is indeed a large kit but, as a result, is quite impressive..
That is a good looking PT Boat. I like the paint work, it has a great overall look. I am not a boat builder, but it that looks like a fun subject and you have given it an overall realistic finish.
Thanks Walt! This is the first and only boat I've built and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe give one a try yourself? Cheers
Really nice all over, looks great!
Many thanks Bob!
Hi Kevin, nice build! I have been looking for a detailed PT boat kit for a while, is this Italeri 5602? Does it include any photo etch (which would be an additional plus ?)?
Hi Joost many thanks for your compliment! It is indeed the Italeri Kit (5602) and the kit does come with a small amount of PE although I do believe there are additional PE kits available. I can thoroughly recommend the kit which goes together easily and builds up quite quickly...buy one, you know you want to!
Great job, Kevin (@kevinrowbotham), especially the weathering. I have liked PT Boats ever since I saw They Were Expendable with John Wayne.
Many thanks George! I had to smile to myself when I saw your reference to 'They Were Expendable'..that was my inspiration for buying the kit in the first place!
