There are some really nice detailing ideas including paint schemes for the PT 109 in "Ships in Scale: The shipmodeler's home port." July /August 2003 Volume XIV Number 4. Reprints are available by order. The article was written by Whit Vye. It provides several detailing plans for the mast, chart house, and guns as well as a really nice camo paint scheme that is like the real thing. I would also recommend late war detailing since everything seems so much more substantial. Have you ever thought about building it for combat with servo actuated bb cannons. It could be a blast - literally.
