Although most of the time PT BOAT CREWS were busy on Patrol and keeping the boats in fighting trim, I want to hear from some of you PT BOATERS as to what type of fun you did manage to squeeze in during your time spent on the boats. Any funny things that happened or practical jokes you want to share with us would be great.......

Hi there.
Funny you should mention this.

On my current 1/32 scale Lindberg PT boat I was planning to have a crew figure positioned in the bridge/chartroom doorway hanging up a bottle of coke to the skipper. The caption will read "Things go better with Coke, Skipper."

On a related note I was thinking about a possible joke. Why did the PT motormac put Coke in the fuel tank? Well every one knows things go better with Coke!

I have some Coca Cola decals from an old 1/35 scale Tamiya ACAV M113 kit I am going to use.

Cheers from PeterTareBuilder

"Give me a faster PT boat for I'd like to get out of harm's way!"
