PT Boat models

Post by Sabrefan » Wed Dec 19, 2007 3:34 pm

I was wondering, are there any good PT boat models out now? The scale doesn't matter, I was just wondering if anyone makes a good PT boat model?

Italeri recently came out with a 1/35th scale version of an Elco 80 footer (The boat depicted is PT-596 from RON 39, Samar, Phillipines c.1945). Here's a site with a review and photos of the kit components:

I must say, it blows the old Revell "PT-109" kit out of the water.

* There was somebody who made a 1:32nd. scale diecast PT-109. ... I forget who the manufacturer was though , but it looked pretty damn good.

* You might find one on eviLBay from time to time.

Proboat makes an awesome R/C Pt boat, but you'll pay about $400 for it..

Lindberg makes a 1/32 scale PT Boat kit that can be made RC. Nice kit and always on ebay but sometimes a little pricey... :)

Here is the ELCO boat. Squadron didnt list the Lindburgh one, although it seems to me I have seen it for sale other than on Ebay...
