Unbelievably accurate
By Brian D. Ocallaghan
If you are thinking of building an extremely accurate version of a late-war Elco boat, you can stop looking.This kit goes together perfectly if you use the novel approach of following the directions.The only after-market accessories I used were the "Harbor accessories" kit, the Accurate Armor 20mm Oerlikon Cannon with the RB Model 20mm barrel, and brass propellers.I also used some of the signal flags from Squadron, but DO NOT use the 1/35th scale flag kit..... they're WAY too large. Use the 72/A02 Tauro model kit and True Details 1:35 & 1:72 Star/Flags/Jacks kit # TD90001.I also discarded the kit decals and used the correct number kit decals from Accurate Armor. (You get 3 sheets so you can re-number the boat if you wish which I did)Other than that, about 60-70 hours, and some prior modelling experience, you will have a museum-quality PT boat.It's a very impressive 28 inches long when completed so make sure you've got the room.The wife may not take too kindly to the new centerpiece on the dining-room table.HIGHLY recommended!
