Hi duffys tavern,

i agree the ford island control tower is an important landmark of oahu. But do not expect to see something like this:



Because of two reasons:

1) my skills in 3d modeling are primitive
2) this picture represents the control tower after completion in 1942. During the raid only the platform was completed. The initial color of the control tower was not red and white, it was dark
3) i know, everybody has the pearl harbor films in mind, but that scenes are not historical accurate

In old pictures you can guess what the how the tower looked alike:




right of the center is a dark grey control tower, very small indeed; structure in red and white in front is the watertower



photo taken late in year 1941, tower is still under construction


greetings
