AMT JFK PT109

[shoopdog]

This is JFK and crew on their maiden voyage on the PT109. Not that great of a kit but builds into a somewhat nice replica. Thanks for looking.

Been thinking of picking this up myself for one of them " something else" builds. Any issues putting it together?

Thanks, Chris

Nice looking model. I built the Revell version many years ago.

No real issues really, my main concern is the deck to hull fitment. There are two parts called for that aren’t included and aren’t even shown on the bottom of the box parts diagram. That would be the propeller shaft and an antenna. I just omitted the antenna and used old sprue for the shaft. You can always stretch some sprue for the antenna. Not a bad kit especially with the 40% off at Hobby Lobby.

Nice work

sadly this kit is inaccurate to how the boat looked just like the simpler older revell kit but the newer and more detailed revell one is accurate to how the boat looked
