TECH NOTES

       This is a 1/72 PT-109 Plastic Model Boat Kit from Revell-Monogram.
      It's a level 2 model boat for intermediate modelers, ages 10 and up.
                  It was commanded by LTJG John F. Kennedy.

     PT-109 is immortalized as the boat commanded by John F. Kennedy.  It was
powered by three twelve-cylinder Packard engines, and was equipped with four
torpedo tubes, machine guns and an anti-aircraft gun.  Without ceremony or
christening, she was lowered into Newark Bay in July, 1942; two months later
her baptism under fire took place in the Guadalcanal war area.

          Waterslide decals are included, and the model can be painted as seen

            and flesh.
