Hey Dick,
Any chance of zooming in and clearly blowing up of that slice of the 109 in that b&w PT 61/PT 48/PT 109 photo?
It might solve a couple of questions about her...it looks like she may have had (small?) light-colored numbers on her port outboard cockpit above the grab rail...but I can't see any on the charthouse...

Wow Jerry, new color images! Once again thank you very much for posting them. This forum would be a much poorer place without your knowledge and contributions.

Drew, I was looking at it too and it does look like some light colored feature on the side of the cockpit side plate just below the top rail that might be markings. i couldn't see any anywhere esle either.
I also could not pick a mast out of the trees behind the 109.

Fantastic photo's Jerry. The color of the boat certainly was not done in the States, this looks to be a job done in the Pacific. Mix whatever was available to make green to blend into the surroundings. Looks to be a Forest Green color, or dark green when it comes to paint from the local hobby shop. Great shot of the Port side Depth charge, which really helps if you want to paint them for a hobby boat. PT-150 certainly had a few ad on's for weapons, including .30 caliber stingers, 20mm, .50 calibers........................

Maybe it's my monitor, but I'm seeing more blue than green. Especially in the image captioned "PT150 cook Wendell Inskeep climbs from deck hatch on bow ". The deck looks like a different color too...

Hi David, I think your Mystery barrel is the 40mm Bofors on the stern? Did you notice the particular shade of GREEN that the boat was painted in? Any opinion on that? Jerry

My initial thought was color shifting in the photos. Notice the inside of the hatch. Is it a less faded version of the exterior color?

Thank you Jerry for posting these pictures. I am hoping that the next time I get to Portland on business I can take a look at your boat. BTW are you a Duck or a Beaver?

Drew . . .
Tried to blow it up and lighten - there is just nothing there. There are however some white dots from photo print or from the scanner these were scanned on, no numbers or other reference. I even blew out the color but still nothing.
Jeff, Will . . . .
I took a couple of pt-150 images and opened them in Photoshop and performed a simple "Auto Color" and the green came out. The images are over saturated tending to lead to blue, but the color actually is a very dark green. Most all PC Windows computers will show different colors depending on monitor, graphics cards and computer operating system. Those on a Mac usually see very, very close to the same colors, because ColorSync found on all Macs.
