I will be designing the MKII version which came along in the latter half of 1967.
Next was getting some internal formers together.

Design of a swift boat-- PCF MK2
Patrol Craft Fast (PCF), also known as Swift Boats, were all-aluminum, 50-foot (15 m) long, shallow-draft vessels operated by the U.S. Navy's Brown Water Navy for counterinsurgency (COIN) operations during the Vietnam War.
I will be designing the MKII version which came along in the latter half of 1967.
I use metesequoia as my 3d program. I have started with making the hull. Not much is readily available as far as blueprints or details so i will have to generalize some things and garnish what i can from pictures.

I'd love to build your Swift when you finish it!
Keep up the good work!
