Thank you for the update Stu, I'm really looking forward to seeing your finished project.
That torpedo rack looks ready to go. I want to pull the release lever!

Stu;
After reading your write up, Did you get my copy of the TOODLES artwork that I recreated with Wayne's help, and the mention of the name that was painted on the Maxon turret?
Your work is outstanding, and spot on! Your MK 12 mounts turned out great, I really like how you scuffed the deck planks to create the look of wear by the crews shoes and boots. I hope you leave this and its not just sanding, that will be fixed later, it looks very realistic, once weathered it will really make the boat pop, and really show what a warrior this boat was.
Keep Charging!
Take care,
TED

Hi,
Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Thanks to Jeff for putting up the photos.
Ted, yes thank you I did receive it. I think I contacted you at the time but if you didn't get my mail I apologise.
I have found a decal which I can use on the charthouse which is from a B17 sheet in 1/48th.
I built up four interior modules for the various hatches but forgot to photograph them all, so you will have to take my word that they are in there
Best Regards,
Stu.

I have just joined your forum after seeing your build of P T 195. This was my Fathers Boat that he served on during the War. I have some pictures that he had ,you may want them to help you finalize some details.
