With the publication on the PT boat forum of a set of detailed,multiple view photograps I was able to create a miniature Mk 31 torpedo director.
Thanks to Jeff Davidson for posting these most useful references.
Challenged by forum members and inspired by Juergen Eichardt (see his Fletcher class build in 1/50 scale
http://www.ship-model-today.de/fotoreport.htm ) I decided to build the director mainly in brass,with only a couple of smaller details in polystyrene.

| Some of the components,turned and milled from brass rod. |
 |
| Finished raw assembly,still on a temporary base. |
 |
| Primed with Tamiya fine primer. |
 |
| A ruler added for scale. |
