USS Acontius (AGP-12) should answer the question regarding C1-A ships used as motor torpedo boat tenders. My father sailed on SS Cape Charles, both PT boats and C1-As are of interest to me :-)

Dear Richard,

You may be able to reduce the image file size when you upload. Imageshack has that option. You have to select the reduction before uploading.

Sincerely,
Nelson

I am working on a C1-A plug in 1/96 scale . Three were used by the US Navy during WWII .They were AE-10 Sangay ( Cape Sable ) , AGP-12 Acontius ( Cape Carthage ) and AGP-13 Cyrene ( Cape Farewell ). The AGP's were torpedo boat tenders . I have photo's of the plug in progress and photo's of the lift they used to pick them up and were they put them on deck .The problem is I can't figure out how to post them . :heh:
It says file to large .How do I change it ?

Which kit are you using for this? I hadn't realized there was a C1-A, unless it's something larger than 1/700.

I have the above kit and want to finish it for a friend as Cape Race. A B&W profile can be found here:
http://drawings.usmaritimecommission.de/drawings_c1.htm Does anyone know what colors are on the Stack or what line is being represented? It doesn't seem to be Ocean Steamship. Thanks for any help. Fred Schwieg
