I had a chance to open up the set and look it over. U-Models has done a fantastic job with this set. Their casting and master works is exceptional compared to a lot of other after market parts out there. The only criticism is that on the ends of the depth charges. This is kind of hard to explain but it's like the charges have bands on the ends. In other words it kind of looks like a spool although the bands are quite thin. In reality There should be a crease. This is easy to correct by wraping thin plastic sheeting within the bands leaving a crease between the added wrap and existing bands. Make sense? It will make more sense if you look at this rendering of a Mk 6 depth charge. Looking at PT Boat photos this is the type I see the most of.

Other than that an excellent addition to your PT.
