Yeah I have been going thru my references and have been noticing things. For a kit from 1954 I have no grand expectation of accuracy but just for the fun of it.

I'm guessing you know that kit is way off what it claims to be... Previous Message
Thank you Al for the answers,ah, the kit is the Atlantis release of PT-212(ex-Revell) in 1/102 scale. Previous Message
When PT73 was transferred from the Aleutians to the SW Pacific in May 1944, she was painted in MS 31/5P. By January 1945, she may have been repainted in 31/20L. I haven't been able to find any photos of her or her RON13 sisters later than 1944, so cannot be sure.
Are you creating a kit? If so, what scale? I can help you with plans if you need them. Previous Message
I'm going to make a kit of the 78ft Higgins boat
PT-73 in 1945. Does anyone know what camo scheme PT-73 was painted in at the time of her loss in Jan,1945 in the Philipines. Thank you in advance.
