Elco 80' PT boat reference material
Posted by PipePlayer on Tuesday, October 27, 2009 4:45 PM

I need some reference photos or drawings of the pilothouse and forward cabin.  Specifically, I'm looking for the layout of the forward cabin and the ladder leading to it from the pilothouse.  I'm working on the 1/32nd scale Lindberg model and want to scratchbuild the area that will be seen from the hatch to the cabin.

PS:  I'm also broke, so any free photos or drawings would be MOST appreciated!!!!!

Many thanks in advance!!  :)

 HI pipeplayer! I don,t know if this will help, why don,t you try the P.T. boat museum in massachussetts? That,s the only place I know to get real authoratative photos.    tankerbuilder

Look in the Bridge & radio equipment section.
