Good afternoon friends:
What's new!!... when I went to get the model of the PT-109 out of my storage room, I realized that it IS NOT FROM ITALERI but from Lindberg and that its scale is 1:32... what a surprise, hahaha!!
So, I will have to work under these new parameters... still, I can't get over my astonishment!!. I was convinced it was 1:35, hahaha!😛😛😛😛😛😛
Hi:
I had kept an ITALERI model of JFK's PT-109 for more than nine years.
What is my intention now? Build it for RC, but configured as PT-596 or PT-617... since I have gotten a lot of information from both boats. For now, I'm worried about building with a 3D printer, the 40mm cannon that it had in the bow... probably salvaged from some scrap of a P-39 Airacobra fighter.
I'll let you know the progress. This winter I'm going to work hard on it...
Any preference between the PT-596 or the PT-617?
PT-617 info:
PT Boat 617, a National Historic Landmark, is located at Battleship Cove as part of the museum's historic vessel collection
Looks good , I have the same kit in my stash and looking forward to building it hopefully as well as you have shown here …Best to you and Good Sailing .
