Nice damage, Quentin! (Get the reference? Big Smile ) I like especially the jagged edges to the torpedo hole, I think you've captured how plywood looks when you can punch a hole through it.

Chris :

I go along with your sentiments .Tis true " Battle Damage " is not seen often and it should be shown .After all the Armor guys do it . T.B.

Hi McHale !

I like what you did .Now , can you add smoke and fire damage to the chart house area around the owee . Then finish the interior details forward .This is very creative and again my hat is off to you ! T.B.

Great McHale!!! Battle damage on ships is something you don't see modelled very often. Good idea!!

here is another revell 1/72 scale pt-109 kit that i have customized

i scratch built the damaged crew quarters in the bow that had a unexploded torpedo from a japanese torpedo bomber go through one side and out the other a shell put a hole in the chart house and another one broke off the radar dome on top of the mast and another one took out the spot light i added a few buillit hole decals also
