I have asked a few questions concerning my build of the revell 1/72 PT kit here the past couple of months and thought I would post a few pictures.

There not the best pictures but all I have is a cheap little digital camera. I can't
get in real close.

Still a long way to go until finished.

Here is the link:

I hope that works.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for posting the photos. She's coming along great. It's all looking very familiar. Tell me about the engines and what you're doing in the engine compartment. Keep us updated with your progress!

Mark and David,

Thanks for the replies. I know it's hard to see clearly with the crappy
pictures but my camera is cheap and I can't zoom in. I have decided
to detail the engine room and keep the top piece removable so one can
see it. The engines are scratch built with plastic stock. They have more
detail than you can see in the pictures and will have more when finished.

I was going to have all the hatches open but decided I didn't want to
detail the interior for each hatch so I decided just the engine room and
the hatch forward of the radio cabin.

My only complaint at this point is the scratch built windscreen. I made it
a bit to high for my liking but it is firmly glued down with liquid cement so
trying to remove it and redo would require more surgery than I want to do.
I am hoping it will look o.k. once the boat is done and painted.

Also the rectangular box next to the cockpit where the antenna goes is a bit big as well but I had to go with that size due to the gap in the kit part after I removed the kit supplied piece.

Like I said there's a long way to go yet.

Thanks Gary for the highlighted link. Didn't know how to do that so I just
made the link cold.

Thanks for the comments guys. Encouragement helps keep the juices flowing
when one bogs down on a build. I never post wip pics of models but did it this
time for some encouragement. Still a long way to go but am refreshed to continue.
