Sorry, but your Sea Daddy Trudeau won't allow that!

You'll have to settle for a scaled down resin version if you can find the drawings!

LeClair Thunderbolt 1

Le Clair, Iowa has 2 thunderbolt mounts overlooking the mighty Mississippi, unless the American Pickers have cabbaged on to them!

Those are M45 Quadmount .50 calibers - the Thunderbolt had a different layout.

That said, the M45 was part of the M16 halftrack, which could make any rush hour commute more fun.

[Chris@Sea n' Sky]

My mistake. No 20mm cannons are in Le Clair.

Looking for some dimensions for PT boats. Particularly for PT09. I made a wood model of the USS Laffey DD724 a while back and now wanting to do the PT109. I found the basics, Length is 80ft. Depth is 8ft 9in. I see the beam is 20Ft 8in.What is the stern width and depth. And could use the height of bridge structure and any other dimensions would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

[FFG-7]

have a look at these.

[PMD724]

Seen that online and still can't read it. Got anything better?

[FFG-7]

what scale are you doing the 109 in?

[PMD724]

I'm doing my own scale. I just need the original dimensions.

This is from one of the best PT boat sites out there. Fantastic drawings with dimensions for most every component.
