HELLO EVERYONE-

On May 16th I was out with my traveling Tulagi diorama display at my local YMCA in honor of Armed Forces Day.
I met a member who presented me with a built up old Lindberg PT-109 in 1/32 scale and he instructed me to fix her up and add it to my display.

I'm very fond of the RON-10 boats and the razzle-dazzle zebra black and white camofladge patterns on these unique boats. I would like to re-do this 109 model as a RON-10 boat.
I have a picture of the 173 boat taken from the port side. It is a combination of zebra stripes and wavy stripes which I feel would make a different one-of-a-kind stand out model. This picture, if I'm not mistaken does not show the presence of torpedo tubes, or are they hidden within the camofladge pattern?
Does anyone out there have any other shots of the 173 boat in this camofladge pattern? If you do would you please post them here.

Thanks for any and all help in this matter!

Frank;
The photo I have in the photobucket account of 173 is the only one I have seen, 172 was similar to this but one of my cats took care of that photo 20 years ago and I have never replaced it. You should contact PTHQ, while I purposely went looking for RON 10 zebra photos, while I was there 12 years ago, I might have missed some or new ones have been added. It worth a shot.
Take care,
TED
