You're welcome Arjan, maybe a modeler will make use of them at some point.

Using Dick's drawings I've built the loader's platform railing. The back rests of the seats also had a different construction but I'm not going to bother altering the original kit ones :
Ron 29 boats apparently also had this type of railing :(at least, those that had a Bofors gun):

Some pics of my progress, there is still a lot to be done but she's ready for her maiden voyage (at the coming weekend). I tried to copy the slightly faded colours of PT 505 :

Hi Jeff, I applied some decals yesterday . Today I applied a clear coating with a spray can. Unfortunately, I managed to mess up the Echelon numbers and Italeri waterlevel marking . The solvent of the clear varnish was probably too aggressive because it caused the decals to blister  . Fortnunately, Tom's decals were not affected.
Regards,
Arjan

Ouch, sorry to hear that. I'm glad Tom's decals made it, they look very nice! You two do excellent work, love all the added details and all the effort to do it right.
Stay away from angry birds, and fish that think it's tasty too!
