Hi

I make a Higgins 78ft PT Boat GRP hull with cambered deck in 1/72nd scale. This hull in 1/35th scale is on my to-do-next list (the idea is to match the scales Revell and Italeri used for their Elco models). I have prepared 5 1/72nd scale PT Boat hulls with decks fitted for Mr Ross, consisting of the Elco 70ft, 77ft and 80ft, the Higgins 78ft and the Huckins 78ft boats. Hopefully he will receive these soon and post his verdict.

Regards, Christian.

I should add before someone points out the obvious, the reason I'm doing a 1/72nd Elco is because the Revell model is too short.

The Revell Elco 80 measures 33.4cm (13.15") but by my calculations it should be 33.9cm (13.33"),
