[StartQuote] To TG Connelly and other interested parties. There are 10 images of Frank'sTulagi PT-Boats Diorama here: [url]http://www.boobyhatchnews.blogspot.com/[/url] It just goes to show you what a difference a lot of time, extra plastic and decent references can do for even a dog of a kit like the Lindberg 1/32 scale PT-109. I have just finished assembling the six 20mm ammo locker lids for my 1/32 scale Lindberg PT boat i am currently refurbishing. I have done *A LOT* more work and modifications than I had planned when I commenced this refurbishing. However the boat is starting to look real good. Researching these early war 80' Elcos of the PT-103 Class of boats is very interesting though. For example, some images I have show the forward deck hatches opening towards the bow whilst others show those same hatches opening towards the stern. Some images show the dayroom hatch opening to the port side towards the mast whilst others show that hatch opening rearwards. It is what makes life interesting. It also often leads one to model different boats or the same boat at different times. This is where the 1/72 scale size and price is a real blessing. Despite the many shortcomings of the 1/32 scale Lindberg kit I have had a great deal of fun and satisfaction refurbishing my 20 years old radio controlled boat and I have really been enjoying building my current 1/32 scale Lindberg PT-109 kit even though I have modifyed or replaced nearly every thing on it with scratch built items.
