Building One of the “Expendables”: PT-41

 PT-41

PT-41

After General MacArthur said “I shall return”, it was a PT boat that he stepped on to start his journey out of the Philippines, and that boat was PT-41… one of the first US Navy vessels to actively fight the Japanese after Pearl Harbor.

I’ve built a 4 foot R/C model of PT-41; check it out in Writings.
