[StartQuote] Ed Casacia has done quite a bit of research on the armament added to PTs. Here's a picture of his PT 495 Ron 33 model in progress that shows the addition of a .30 cal on either side of the cockpit & the extra twin .50 cal just inside the port torpedo rack. The 2nd photo shows the same port .30 cal at the far right side of the image with the canvas cover on the gun. I've never seen a .30 cal mounted just below the windshield but thought these guns might be the same ones you were referring to. As I research my uncle's service with Ron 33 & collect info to build the Italeri kit as PT 488 I'm always amazed at how much I don't know. That said, there are people who know much more than I about PTs, but thought I'd throw out what I have seen. Also the Images I posted were borrowed from others on the forum & are not mine. I've borrowed them with only the intent to share info & the credit should go to those who own & have posted the originals. Hope that helps.
