Interesting .................

Solid torpedo tubes ........... decals for ports ...................

One would think that with today's technology, one would get a model, like, gee, I dunno, like Wayne Traxel's or John R. Haynes ...

Kind of a cheap looking HIGGINS. You would need to do some of your own changes to make it look good. I was never a big fan of anything DUMAS came out with. I think they are over-rated and pale in comparision to lets say the JOHN HAYNES MODELS, and the plastic ITALERI ELCO. Lets hope ITALERI comes out with their own HIGGINS boat...............

Sure would be a nice subject for Bluejacket Al . It would be a great companion piece for the 103 boat. Wink Wink

I have to keep trying. :-)

Been trying for years. Send Suzi an email - info@bluejacketinc.com - and tell her what a great idea it would be... :-}

Hi Al,
I did just that. I also suggested in addition to the Higgins a 77' Elco and 110' Subchaser. Was I too greedy? We need to keep you busy! These would be amazing in 1/35 scale, especially with the availability of so many aftermarket parts. But I would take 1/48 in a heartbeat.

Do you have any other new kits in the works over there?

Take care
Dave
