Note the angle of the outer screen, the inner needs to be cut the same. the sliver can be added to the sbd wall. The turret edge needs to be cut back to match the new angle so the wall Can butt up to it

Stu,
I noticed the line drawn for the two halves of the day cabin roof. Italeri's update set will include some photoetch connecting plates if you can stand to wait. Should be available there in the UK next month sometime.

David,
Really? amazing. I was just contemplating how to represent these.
Does the set contain a cabin heater? I am fretting over that at the moment. I have the Elco drawings but they are hard to interpret, especially the mounting to the deck.
I was going to get this set anyway for the liferaft.
Many thanks.

Best Regards,
Stu.

That is the 315 boat in the color photo, you are correct Will.

I see you got out the chainsaw Stu.

Stu, were you the one I was discussing the boat hook with? I can't find the thread... Check the top photo on this page for the stbd boat hook location on PT 109, click it for a larger image: http://pt-king.gdinc.com/PT109-2.html. I'll have to check and see how it compares on other boats, and it's different from what the drawing I used shows, but the aft end looks it was flush with the cabin end on the 109.

Jeff ,
Yes, it was at/near the end of the wall but since I added a couple of mm I will have to move it and lengthen it, as then the tubular handle fitting under the deadlight window will not be in the right place (It is at the centre of the window on 105/103 so I guess it would be the same on 109)
More work

Best Regards,
Stu.

Yes, that one was just good timing. When Jeff published that CAD drawing and the photos came out with the plates I couldn't believe it because we had just concluded our conversation with Italeri about ideas for their parts kit. They told me we were in time to add the plates to the photoetch fret and they pulled it off. That's how great these guys have been to work with.

I must say I am really impressed with Italeri's co-operation on their PT projects. So many companies just refuse to accept consumer input.

Hello,
Italeri do seem to have a passion for the subject, and must have been impressed with the enthusiasm of the people here, to have taken the risk.
I just hope they don't mind me cutting up parts of their lovely kit.



I spent some time yestereday finishing my dayroom mods, tidying it all up and adjusting the fit. I think it was a worthwhile mod which improves the look IMHO.


Best Regards,
Stu.
