- This is the second part of the series on "Building PT 489". Backdating the Revell PT 579/588 kit to an earlier series Elco PT Boat.
I have some additional material on the "Building PT 489" web page:

After watching your videos making this kit I tossed mine in the trash. Thanks for taking the wind from my sails.
A lot of guys build models on YT and they look good to great. You sir, are a modeler. Incredible work!
I'm constantly amazed at the smooth finish of your paint jobs. The entire model is stunning but the paint job really grabs my attention.
Particularly nice to see footage of the production/fabrication process too. Thank you for sharing this.
At some point in my life, I want to be able to turn brass and plastic. Your extensive use of this technique makes just about every model I have seen you build really stand out among other model builders.
Amazing work as always Paul, you are one of the few modelers who inspires and motivates me to push myself in the fabrication and modification department of model building
This is basically a free masterclass in scratch-building. Thank you sir!
Just watching is a genuine treat. Thank you, Mr. Budzik.
I've admired your work since 1995 when I first saw your P-51 on the cover of Modeling The Second World War. Your PT boat is amazing. Thank you for sharing your talent, looking forward to your next post.
You have rally made a silk purse out of a sows ear. Fantastic result.
You're the best modeler on RUclips. You do the most amazing work. I wish you'd put out more videos!
I'm honestly surprised you even bother with using a plastic kit at all. Your craftsmanship and attention to detail are far better. You'd likely save time just starting from scratch!
wow this is modelling on a whole new level -great work
Dejar sir, I'm writing you from Mexico just to let you know that I enjoy profoundly your videos on PT boats. The care and attention to details it is absolutely remarkable. Hopefully, I'm about to receive my own 588. Ships are not exactly my line as I'm a retired pilot and airplanes and helos are my favorite. It happens that my younger brother asked me to build a PT boat as I helped him more than 50-55 years ago, to build a PT 109. I'm sure you can figure out how it ended up the thing with two rascals in charge 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Now, must be different and I found your videos, absolutely helpful to achieve a descent model. Thank you so much for the video and for the incredible work you do.
I didnt want the video to finish....🥲...great like always.
Watching your videos makes me think that everything is possible! Truly inspired!
Thank you Vinicius, You've pretty much summed-up the point of my channel !
Great work and Narrated friend
I subscribed to you for your work and narrative
Mr.Paul , my kids are watching this with their mouths opened. Outstanding content!
I'm watching this with my mouth open too haha
Paul,
All I can say is wow! You nailed it! I am greatly impressed how you made such an accurately detailed model with the kit you had to start from. That 50 cal mount was horrendous, but you cleaned it up to look fantastic! Thanks for referencing my Walk around tour of PT658 in Portland OR video for the Life raft details. I spent a lot of time getting that Life raft just right and to see that you used it as an example made me feel pretty proud. Keep up the fantastic work! Jerry Gilmartin (PT658 restoration crewman)
Thank you Jerry, I''m glad you like the result ... I couldn't have done this without your help. Thank you again.
WELL DONE!!!!
Love the video / update. Thanks for putting this video together!
Great video as usual. Thanks!
PS - It's really great to see what you are up to these days. What a production! I remember seeing your B-25 in Fine Scale Modeler sometime during the 80's ( ? ) and it really was neat. The clear parts of the model were seamless to the fuselage surface and looked very convincing! Keep on trucking!
Outstanding as usual, thanks for all the tips.
Exceptional work Paul and another stunning model to add to your collection.
Thank you for sharing.
The master at work again
Incredible workmanship!!! Your skills are an endless source of inspiration.
Really appreciate your videos! I'm learning a lot of techniques that I can put to good use. All of this is very fascinating and well received! Amazing stuff. Thank you!
Beautiful work and attention to detail
Paul, you are the wolverine of styrene.
Incredible job on the boat, video production is excellent as well.
Beyond amazing!!
Great build and really jealous of your tools and tool skill.
Has to be the best modeler
Great video, you take attention to detail to a new level.
Nice model and detail. I have a 48” Dumas PT 109 to build.
Terrific detail as always. Thank you.
you don't need heavy steel to tango , A true master you are .
Impressive work 👍
You skill is unmatched! It is almost too bad that you had to paint the torpedoes, because they looked awesome bare.
what an improvement over the kit. As always, thanks and much appreciated
It probably took longer to build that model than the real boat wonderful work .
OUTSTANDING.
Awesome. Great video
Amazing
Another masterclass, so much too learn.
Wonderful job. Congratulations!
Love these videos. Keep em coming.
Museum-quality work, sir. Fascinating video(s).
Every video you put out on this channel is excellent stay safe Paul and now I’m off to have an extraction you know what I mean move videos please thanks George in England 🦷😱👍😂
Thank you George!
Excellent work
Great job... If your not a machinist, You certainly should be...
You have a great narration voice
As always, great workmanship and video, now I got to talk the missus into getting a lathe, lol don't like my chances 👍👍👍👍
That is superb 👍🏻🇦🇺
Superb craftmanship, Paul. Congratulations.
Great stuff, thanks!
Nice Merc dime
Wow, you do some INCREDIBLE work. I'd love to watch you do a whole build. Do you have videos where we can see you do an entire build?. I just found your channel and love that you teach us better ways of building models. I'd just love to see how you do an entire model. Similar to this. Also what's that mini lathe called, it seems very cool and precise
Nicely done :-)
Another wonderful review and build. Your skills are way beyond mine. Feel free to manufacture spare parts for these kits. I would purchase them. Love the torpedoes.
Здравствуйте, очень круто получилось
I wish to see Revels He-219 in 32 scale made by you. Great job!
You could make amazing videos just on the improvements you've made.
for red and white numbers. Look at Woodland Scenics Dry Transfers and transfer them directly to the kit or to clear decal film. You would need a white and red set's. Also could have made a stencil and painted it. Nice work Does your boat have the late or early positioned forward 50.cal tub? I have a 1/35th scale PT365 mid-war Elco boat in the works. Had to use the forward cabin of Pt 109 on a late war hull. With the same engine ventilation system as yours.
This is engineering....
Great result. Will you be doing any heavily weathered models in the future?
Probably never, not my cup of tea.

You must be in USA 🇺🇸
