Accurate PT-15 Torpedo Boat Model Portrait

The Tamiya 79003 presents the PT-15 in 1/72 scale with an emphasis on faithful lines and detailed components. This kit suits hobbyists building a historically inspired naval display.

Service Record and Authenticity

Originally produced at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the PT-15 served on coastal patrols until 1995. The model captures the characteristic aluminum V-shaped hull and the CODAG drive arrangement that allowed service speeds up to about 40 knots.

Assembly Features and Deck Equipment

The Tamiya PT-15 kit models the hull profile precisely and includes armament such as rotatable Bofors 40mm gun mounts along with torpedo tubes. The detailed bridge and deck fittings plus 12 crew figures provide options for realistic presentation.

Is the Tamiya 79003 kit suitable for display without painting?

Out of the box the kit is unpainted plastic; for a finished display a paint job and weathering will greatly improve realism, though it can be displayed striped-down if preferred.

Does the kit include instructions for correct crew placement?

Yes, the instructions show suggested positions for the 12 crew figures and guidance on fitting small deck items to help with accurate presentation.
