[StartQuote] I am planning on modeling the PT 156 boat using the 1/35 scale Italeri 80' PT boat kit. My interest in this particular boat stems from my father-in-law, Lt. Col James Grant Burgess, Ret (deceased). Before he passed on, I made him a model of a WW II era half track with a quad .50 caliber mount. He had commanded an AAA unit of these machines on New Guinea. He then told me an interesting story of how he was approached by a Navy PT boat officer who requested a spare quad mount to replace his stern 20 mm mount. My father-in-law was instrumental in making this happen and in training navy personnel in the operation, and maintenance of the mount. With the help of Garth at PT Consulting, we have identified this boat as PT156. The model will be a memorial to my father-in law and all who served on these magnificent boats. Does anyone have any information on the camoflage scheme utilized on this boat? SteveS156[EndQuote]
