As you can see I haven't gotten very far.
Anyway, I've run into a couple of problems, namely the electronics and the boat.
I've found nothing about her radars et al online, and even Friedman is annoyingly silent.
The boat is somewhat more trivial. I know she had a 26ft motor whale boat, but I don't know the exact type.
I'll post some more information about her once she's finished.
Oh and does anyone have a decent photo or drawing of the right side of the Mk. 105 rocket launcher? The only close-ups I've been able to find are of the left side which isn't all that helpful.

I wouldn't bother with the exact type, just use whatever looks better.

Wow, I never knew this type of vessel existed. Thanks Thiel!

Not surprising since it was the only one of its kind.

Sorry about the ebay link, but it is one of the right side pictures you asked for.

Also try Searching Lindberg Bobtail Cruiser (Mislabeled as such by model makers)

Reason why I am "upset" about it, is because it was built here in the Puget Sound, where I live.

Progress have been made!
Whoever designed this ship did not have us line-artists in mind.

Still, it is a pretty admirable ship for its type and purpose.

Thiel. Sorry that I did not search around for ref but I found something when I began to search:

The first search gave me this model boat:

And these images, if you look a little further down the page then you can find pictures that should be Mark 105 rocket launcher
http://brownwater-navy.com/vietnam/RIVcombatships.html

So I took and search for the Mark 105 rocket launcher, and there it was, this should help you with how the rocket launcher looks!
