Precision Model of the PT-15 Torpedo Boat

The Tamiya 79003 presents the JMSDF PT-15 as a compact 1/72 scale kit with attention to hull form and deck detail. It is designed for hobbyists who value accurate small-scale naval subjects.

Operational Background and Accuracy

Constructed originally by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the PT-15 operated in coastal patrol roles until 1995. The kit captures the vessel's aluminum V-shaped hull and the CODAG engine arrangement that produced service speeds approaching 40 knots, reflecting its operational profile.

Construction Notes and Armament

The model includes an accurately profiled hull, rotatable Bofors 40mm gun mounts and the torpedo launchers found on the real boat. Deck fittings and bridge details are well modelled, and a set of 12 crew figures is supplied to bring scenes to life.
