[StartQuote] One of the reasons I have so many of these early Kits in my Exhibit is because they represent what was available at that time. No matter how right or wrong, they made some young kid pretty happy, myself included. Although most of them do not measure up to Museum quality models made today, Historically they represent an important part of the mystique of the PT Boats. When my 1944 Varney Model was made by my friend Stan Pienkowski, I wanted it built just as it would have been in those days. Many of my old Balsa Kits were constructed in the same manner. Now, along those same lines I do have a few that were updated with new parts and such, as with my FEMU Diorama because it had to be. I think that when buying these old model kits, builders should keep that in mind, and build them the way they were meant to be. If anything you can purchase a few kits and build them in several different ways. I know that many folks were impressed with the many PT Boat models available to the public, when they came to my Exhibit. Seeing them built with nothing extra lends to the whole PT Boat experience. Just my thoughts........... [EndQuote]
