About D-Day 83-footers :
The sixty 83' Patrol Cutters that formed Rescue Flotilla One during D-Day were modified to some extend to fill their role of rescue ships during the landings.
Mousetrap rails, D/C launchers and some ammo boxes were removed, while in some instances more balsa rafts were secured on railings or pilot house.
Camouflage was changed to the darker Measure 14, and pennant numbers replaced by codes from 1 to 60.
CGC-6 is famous for her skull and crossbones emblema on both sides of the pilot house.
The instructions and paint guide are based on some examples. It is recommended that modeler should do some research to model a specific cutter.
