Default RE: Curious PT Boat

Someone doesn't know anything about PT boats as they were never painted like that in combat areas. In the Solomons in 1942/3, when a new boat showed up with OD green and brown scheme, it was repainted grey and the large white bow numbers were not redone due to visibility issues. The boats survived by stealth and having huge white numbers on the bow would make the boats easy to see, even at night over a long distance. My advice is to strip the boat down, repaint it in a proper grey and lose all the army men. If you need to put a crew on board, make them more scale appropriate as what the person put on are way too small
