[StartQuote] This can be quite a project and take some time IF you can find a suitable model. I built the PT-61 (1/20 scale -radio controlled) as a gunboat and used some of the information on the 59 boat as there was very little on the 61. The Bofors (fore and aft) were army guns (all three, 59, 60, and 61 had them) which I scratch built. I was in the middle of building this boat when I swung over to 3D modeling and printing which makes thing a lot easier. Additional armor and features were unique to these boats. There are drawings of the gunboats out there as well as a fair amount of photos of the 59 as a gunboat and shortly afterward.

I guessing there are less than ten models of these gunboats world wide. [blue]Lew[/blue/ Lew Zee[EndQuote]
