1/24 USS Elco PT Boat 50cal MG Set

It's amazing how real these guns look. I made the Dumas Dauntless into a 49" PT 109. I enlarged the Dumas 30" Pt 109 to 49" and built most of the deck structures from wood including the torpedo's. But then it came to the guns, lifeboat and turret parts. after several hours of searching the internet I found Distefano3dprint. (they need to change this name to something that represents what they make). I contacted them and a fellow named Sasa. He is a really big help. I wasn't real sure what scale I had
created so I gave him some measurements and a list of what I wanted and he replied with everything that I need and the scale. The Items are a little bit spendy but well worth it. Not they can make any item to any scale that you need. I give them 4 stars. Thank you Sasa.
