PT596 documentation package
Posted by alross2 on Wednesday, August 9, 2006 8:06 PM

With the impending release of the Italeri PT 596, I'm putting together a documentation package. At the moment, I plan on reducing my 1/32 scale plans of PT 596 (which include the MS 31/20L scheme) to 1/35 and bundling them with twice scale (or larger) drawings of the 40mm MK3, 37mm M9, MK50 rocket launcher, MK1 roll-off rack, 20mm MK14, and .50 cal. MK17 mount (including the M2). May also include a number of photos of this and similar boats.

Thoughts??

Al, would they include interior lay outs? pics? I think in 1/35 would be easier to detail than the 1/72 Revell PT-109

Yes.  The existing plans show the inboard plan and profile.  In addition, there are a dozen or so detailed cross-sections of the 565 series boats in John and my ALLIED COASTAL FORCES OF WWII, vol. 2.  I might include these, too.
