Gunny, still no parcel in the post from WEM so I may have to go out and buy something.

Hmmm Airfix Vosper made one of these over 20years ago think I will give one a go again.

I'll see if I can find one.

hi everyone, i've just got my elco PT boat. this will be my entry for the campaigne. my interest is set on the PT 373 or any boat...commissioned by the USNAVY in the philippines islands. boy..it will take some extensive research and time to build this boat.. any suggestion or tip is very much welcome.

i'm an unexperienced boatbuilder but this one interest me very much. luckilly the kit provided a reference manual. the kit is big..hard to work on a regular work table..

Shot with Canon DIGITAL IXUS i at 2007-07-01

size comparison on other boats..i need a bigger table.

Cheers,
~Gunny

Progress looking good, Sean!
Thanks for the update...How bout the rest of ye out there?

~Gunny

That's some beautiful work you have there Ed. I'm looking forward to seeing this come together.

Hey all,



Almost done, a few small things left to do but I'll be finished on Friday with this....I hope...LOL

thanks guys..i was wondering..is there any aftermarket figures for the PT boat available? the boat has been out for a long time. this will certainly trigger aftermarket items. hope to get one to complete the set.

hi frank, nice boat..almost done and ready.

Here ya go, mate...some nice ones...

PT Gun Crew

Hello Guy's
Have almost finnished my Elco. Have ordered some of Gator's paint masks for the Zebra pattern. Whilst I'm waiting for the masks I'm just planning how I'm going to display her on the diorama. Some smaller pieces to add once the deck is fixed in place.Have now primed her in grey auto primer. Looks very different now that it's all 1 colour.
have added a couple of pictures before i primed her.
You can see the pic's at http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1854753
I hope this link works.

Shuan, your build is looking really good. very nice.

Hi Shaun

A very interesting scheme (and I am not refering to the painted one)
Please keep us posted and keep up the good work!

Skipper

Frank thats a great looking build.

Shaun looking good, was the armour plate around the front gun a local mod for this boat?

p.s. Gunny just ordered 2 x S-100 class S-boats in 1/350 from WEM, checked they had them in stock first
So my delayed entry is back on with a small dio (I hope)

hi everyone..hi shaun, the crew are in 1/72 scale. thanks for the tip..it'll be helpful for color refrences on thier uniforms. shaun, are we building the same boat? with all the scratchbuilts and add-ons..your boat looks impressive. i like to try the torpedo tubes. i'll check your album from time to time for reference. thanks for sharing.

one particular PT boat i'm looking for research materials is the PT 373..saw some materials..few pictures and brief history. this was used by gen. macarthur during his stay here in the philippine islands. it didn't mentioned if they sought action around the phil waters. but it will surely help alot if some of you guys can share more about the PT-373. the small picture book from italeri has a picture of it. unfortunately it didn't have a clear view of the whole boat. thanks again for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

More photo updates coming next week.

She is starting to take shape even if I do say so myself.

Regards

Sean

Very well, mate!
Still have a lot of time to get building, my friend...
