Title: My 28mm Navy - PT 41
Post by: Johnnytodd on 25 April 2013, 10:00:13 PM

Finally finished painting a couple necessary crew figures and took a few photos. Here's my version of PT 41 (77' Elco) en route from Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron 3 base at Bataan to evacuate Douglas MacArthur from his HQ on Corregidor (March 1942).  The boat is 1/56th scale and as I could get close to an accurate representation of PT 41 as time allowed.  Dark green was not my preferred color but research indicates that's the color she wore.

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks.  AndyM:  there is no game to report as yet - building the models takes up all available recreation time  ;)
