NO STRIPES PLEASE!!! I hate that scheme. Take a perfectly Beautiful ELCO BOAT and make her look like an AFRICAN ZEBRA. All kidding aside, the drawings look very nice for your first attempts. As you play with them and tweak them, you will be right on Historically. GOOD JOB.

Garth-
Just wanted to let you know that your Squadron PT Boats book played a very important part when it came to finishing and painting my PT-169 " ZEBRA SNAFU " from RON-10.
Yes, I know I threw you a curve ball with the RON-10 boats and it's a very difficult pattern to sketck out much less paint! My eyes were crossed for several days after painting her.
Thanks for your help on this one Garth!

Well, ... Right now?
I'm 'masking' the hull, using the model that Alex Johnson built for me as a 'guide' ... I think I've nailed it. My only concern is how I'm going to do the torpedo tubes ..........

Atta boy Garth! I commend you, and I know I speak for all of us here on the this ol' message board, for stepping up to the plate and taking a big swing at the RON-10 patterned boats. I for one think that the measure was very unique to the PT's, while there are others out there that think the pattern made the boats look like hell! I think if we took a vote, the results would be very close! Put me down as a Yeh, and Frank A. as a NAY and we'll start with that! This should be fun!

Actually Frank?
I've got say ... the system I'm using to mask the hull? It's actually easy to do ........... But, like I've said, the tubes are going to be a biatch to do.

I hear ya, Garth! I had the same problem with the old Lindberg kit tubes when I built the 169 almost 20 years ago. I used various widths of pin stripping tape to achive the effect both on the hull and tubes. I know you can't use tape for your computer generated images,but I'm possitive you'll come up with something clever!

Hey Frank,
I'm making headway on the Adaptor schemed boat. I can only work on it for a few minutes at a time, the stripes make me dizzy. But, at the risk of sounding cocky and conceded ... it's turning out pretty good ... I'm amazing myself.
DO NOT ask me to do a Ron 15 boat! This will be the only Adaptor scheme I will EVER do! Now, I know why it was only used for a short time.
Lordy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you guys know that a P-51 had a similar scheme.................
Garth
