Building the Italeri Elco PT Boat 1:35 Scale

Anti-fouling should be painted before installing the exhaust mufflers.


Final camouflage coat

The best way to build this boat is to build each section separately, dry fitting for accuracy and painting the modules as each is finished and standing it aside.
The rest of this build is straightforward and close attention to the instructions will save any mistakes. I did not marry the deck and hull until the camouflage was complete as this is a large model and it is easy to handle the parts separately.
For the color scheme I used the following paints and as you can see by the photos seem to harmonize pretty well. The camouflage was Tamiya unless stated. Over the already painted hull and cabins I used:
XF26 Deep Green
XF 1 Flat Black
XF 67 Nato Green for weapons
XF Gold Leaf
Dulux Silversheen, Torpedoes
Humbrol 53, Deck hardware and weapons.
