Just completed for a friend - the 1/72 Revell PT-109 kit.
Looking at the marking on the back of the stand it says 'made in China, 1963'
Done this as PT109 as it looked before J.F. Kennedy took command of it.
Time taken 5 days.
Paints used: Halfords under coat red for lower hull, Vallejo 70900 French Mirage Blue for upper hull, decking and superstructure.

I posted the photos of this model on another Modellers website and one person posted the following comment: 'Interesting subject! My mom's uncle Bryant Larson was the captain of PT-109 before it was handed over to Kennedy. . . .and a fantastic build too!'

Cool, always nice to get a personal connection to one's build.
