Hey Carl, I haven't been able to be around the forum a whole lot lately, so I'm a little late in viewing your original post. However, I've really enjoyed seeing your work in progress & am always excited when someone builds anything relating to Ron 33. Any reason you're not including the 488 boat as part of your Ron 33/Leyte Gulf display? My uncle was on the 488 at Layte & so I'm just curious.
I've got a bunch of his photos from Ron 33/LG, so contact me off-forum via my e-mail if you're interested in referencing any of his images.
Just a couple things to note. Ron 33 boats were repainted in the jungle cammo scheme at, or just before Leyte & so didn't wear the 2 tone striped cammo like Ducati's beautiful PT495 model while they were at LG. I haven't been able to nail down exactly when their cammo was changed though. Also Ron 33 boats were upgraded to SO3 type radar while at Layte, but again, I don't know when each boat's radar was changed. I've got my uncle's pictures which show a mixed bag of Ron 33 radar types nested together but that changed favoring the SO3 as it got later in the war.
Like I said, drop me a line if you want & I'll see if any of his images might help you out in your research & building.
Welcome to the group!
