I am looking for modeling information on the depth charges and racks used on 80' Elco boats in New Guina in WW II. Specifically, dimensions, detail photographs and drawingsor, hopefully 1/35 th scale aftermarket accessories. These do not seem to be provided as an option in the Italari kit.

Hi Steve,
You wanted details! Here are some DETAILS. This is how the selector dial looks and works. I hope these help. Just FYI, it was a Mark VI Depth Charge (total weight 420 lbs, explosive weight 300 lbs of TNT) and a Type C Roll-Off Rack. By the way, both 80 foot Elco and 78 foot Higgins PT boats used these same weapons. Jerry
Here is a photo of the dial:
Here is a drawing of same:
Here is a picture of external of Mark VI Depth Charge:

Here is a cutaway of exploder (Pistol and Booster Extender) mechanism:
