1/72 PT-109 Patrol Boat (Revell)
I've recently completed the old Revell 1/72 PT-109. For all the ship
models I've built, this is the first time I've done this kit.
It has numerous molded-on details that would be replaced with individual
parts in a more modern tooling, but the overall effect is pleasing.
I replaced the kit's life raft on the bow with a Hasegawa 37 mm cannon;
JFK and crew had equipped the PT-109 with a gun of this type covertly "requisitioned"
shortly before the boat's last mission.
