[StartQuote] Not a problem Bruce. You mention the dingy being moved to the dayroom. while it is possible to move it to this location, I have not seen any mounting points on the earlier series boats as I believe the later boats(ELCO 565-624 series had, plus that was a 9 foot wherry, this dingy on 337 looks slightly larger), so they would have to lash it to the deck as in this photo. As for the air diverter, as you called it, this is the first time I remember seeing one however, since I am building a 1/32 scale PT 308, I guess my eye is now keen to that sort of stuff, and you are in luck, because I just found an excellent photo of one today, [image]http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p249/ptboats/Ted%20Walther/PT131RON7ANDPT146RON12ALONGSIDEWACHAPREAGUE102544.jpg[/image] This photo is of PT 131 RON 7 alongside PT 146 RON 12, they are nested alongside USS WACHAPREAGUE on or about 10/25/1944. Notice the starboard side charthouse window area of PT 146. This should give you an excellent idea of construction. This is just a guess but To me it is probably shaped sheet metal that might slide into a permantly mount track. My question is did these windows open on a hinge either up or down as the dayroom windows did? take care TED [EndQuote]
