Hi, all!
Well, following Hippy-Ed's enthusiasm, I decided to join the PT boat GB.
I still have a Revell pt117 model I bought during the '90's. There is still the price on the box : 249,- BEF (8,00 US$ or 6,25 €). The model in the box must be old, and I think, the same model was sold during the same years in some countries as PT109 and in other countries as PT117.
When I decided to join the GB, I bought White Ensign Models PE set 7205. There are fine details in this set, unfortunately, the price is something like 5 X the price I paid for the kit.
The set includes detailes instructions, but a 1/72 plan of the deck would have been helpful.
I decided to post the pictures in a photo album :

This is the first plastic boat model I build with a PE set.
Step 1 : sanding, sanding, sanding.
Sanding the deck, sanding the torpedoes.
I can not bring much help yet, but I took some pictures of the parts of the kit. So, if you have sanded your deck, and you wonder where to put the PE parts, take a look at the pictures of the deck of the original model in my photo album.
I'll keep you informed in this topic.
Thank you.
