I think it is wonderful that some of you have come to the aid of this project in honor of ARTHUR FRONGELLO and PT-302. There is a great group of people on this board, and I appreciate all of the help you are giving Bob..................

Well it looks like Christmas came early to Frank and myself this year. I've got all the parts I needed without having to rob from my own kit, or scratch build. Frank will get the Boat early. I needed the wheel and throttles but the wheels on the Higgins are different that what comes in the Italeri kit so that has to be scratch built anyway, throttles are easy to build. The guys restoring PT 305 and the posting of photos have been a great help, weather they know it or not, the timing was perfect to start a Higgins build. I'll post updates so you can see how it's going, and There shouldn't be any more begging for parts until I do a 77' Elco. I do need a few more reference photos just to make sure it's right. So far so good and THANKS!

Hi Bob,
Here are a few photos I found from PT309's old website courtesy of Bill Zolla and Jack Hughes collections. I hope they show a few details that will help. Jerry

What I'm looking for is a clear shot of the type mounting of the life raft in the photo. Also there is a little box between the front and rear port torpedo racks, on my prints it's labled intake. Thanks!
