Allan, I knew they had at least one of them, ex NEI. Wonder how it got there, after the East Indies fell. Nice work!

Thanks Bernard, It seems the Dutch brought 34 with them when they evacuated to Australia in 1942.

Very nice Alan! I looked for the float version of this kit, but haven’t found one yet. Your additions really smartened up the kit.
Allan J Withers said on March 5, 2017
Thanks Greg, this is the float version ! three options, PT20-U.S.Army 1941, STM-RAAF 1942 and STM S2-N.E.I.Army 1940, this kit seems to have been discontinued.

Looks like the real thing was a bit draughty, but the model has turned out well.
