Update on PT-495 build. Photos.
I cast some additional parts needed for the 495. Everything in white is new. The mast and dome i constructed form styrene. The rest is cast resin.
So far this is what I have done:
SO Radar and mast.
Rework 37mm (shorten barrel and make aircraft style mag, still needs grips).
Make cradle, stand and base for 37 and 2 additional 20mm.
Make 2 additional 20mm.
Replace navigation lights with side mounted trpe.
Add grab rails to cabin roof.
Remove molded in raft mount from cabin roof.
Rework roll off rackes to look more like Mk 1.
Move forward torpedo racks forward.
Make additional ready ammo boxes and 20 mm mags (still need some cleanup.)
Move smoke canister to fantail.
I stuck a 1/35 th armor fige in the photo for scale and none of the pieces are glued in place yet. Must paint first.
What do you think?
