Refurbishment

[Norman GibsonParticipant @normangibson35911]

Could anybody help identify the model shown it being approx. 55 years old. I am planning to return it to its original condition and would also like info on where I might be able to find the missing parts especially the guns Cheers

Hi Norman

The boat looks like the Aerokits Patrol Boat 40" by 11" beam.

I have a PDF copy of the plans if it helps( free).

Hi Harry Thanks for prompt reply, I have measured the boat and it is 40" by 11". I would appreciate a copy of the plans as it would enable me to return it to its original condition and get it back in the water my e.mail is

Hi Norman,

I rebuilt an example of the kit about 8 years ago, having been presented with a model in a similar state to yours. I did not have the original plan but obtained a copy of John Haynes drawing from him at the time. I suspect it shows a lot more detail than the original kit plan but I don't know if it is still available from him. At the time he did his own Elco PT boat kit and also supplied me with lots of detail parts including the guns.

I wrote an article on the rebuild for Model Boats magazine which was published in September 2010. It is still available on the Forum if you are a subscriber and search under PT 602. There is lots of information on the web about Elco 80 foot PT boats – Google is your friendly assistant.

Here is a photo of the completed model

By the way Norman, it is best not to publish your email address in open view on the forum or you are likely to get all sorts of strange information appearing in you inbox. Its much more preferable to send the information directly to the required recipient by personal message (PM)
