PT109
1965 U.S. Lindberg Plastic Special Edition John F Kennedy P T 109 Boat. The P T 109 boat was mainly employed around the islands surrounding the Philippines, hence the reason why the boat was painted to match the background colours of these islands. Bought in a part built state and took me, with help and advice from other model boat guys, about 12 months to get it up and running. Powered by twin motors, shafts & props, with a single 8 cell 9.6 volt battery.
I've got a scale model of the pt-109, lindberg and want to build it as soon as possible.
Thank you for these photos... very well achieved the warlike atmosphere of the period.
Soon I'll post pictures of the work.
