ť Topic: Help with details for SO radar and mast
http://www.ptboatforum.com/cgi-bin/MB2/netboardr.cgi?cid=101&fid=102&tid=2609

Greetings all,
My friend Jerry Beasley is interested in creating a master for a detailed 1:35 SO Radar and Mast for the Italeri PT Boat kits. This will work well with both the current kit and the upcoming 109 kit. To do that we need some detailed drawings of both. Al Ross has been kind enough to provide us with some line drawings in the past but we're wondering if somebody has something more detailed with dimensions. We're also interested in the electronics associated with the unit including the wiring. They're not in the Elco parts catalog and not in Dick's Elco DVD. Does anyone have any details they can share with us?
Thanks everyone!
Dave

Hi David,
Do you want SOA or SO-3? SOA is the Dome SO-3 is the Football. There are distinct differences just FYI. WE just installed a Radar mast configured to look like an SOA on PT658. I could take measured photos if you would like. Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Definitely SOA and that would be terrific! Anything you can provide would be most appreciated.
