I'm looking for photos and documentations about PT Boat (596)
as: deck guns (M4 37mm automatic, 20mm and launch rockets), radar and command cabin.
I'm sorry for my poor english!

Thank you in advance.

Hi Mike,
Welcome to Model Shipwrights!

One of the best sources of info on the subject will come from Dr. Al Ross, (who is also a site member here), and he operates Coastal Forces Plans, check the site out and you can drop him an e-mail with any specifics.

And take a look at our Features Department here for some great PT articles as well!

Cheers,
~Gunny

You will probably not find many pictures of PT-596 directly.
However, photos of PT-617 with interior shots are here. This boat has different deck fittings and many things are wrong for PT-596 but shows some good detail otherwise.
