k357 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 This does NOT build up into an acurate PT 109, due to the lack of firepower( Anti tank gun on bow & depth charges in front of torperdo's however with alot of work this OLD 1958 Lindberg tool can build up into an acceptable 1943 ELCO boat from the same generation as it looks factory fresh, I guess it looks OKit looks OK... I'm just glad I got this on clearence from Hobby Lobby... This NOT worth the full price... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Nice looking PT boat. Well done. AMT, MPC, & old Lindberg kits are generally not worth full price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Like the way you detailed this PT Boat. Can you imagine going to war in a plywood boat like this and living to talk about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine in the background is one of 3 Packard 1500 HP supercharged V-12's for this beast, these things were hotrods! Hotrods armed to the teeth!
