Share the repeated interest in a 72nd scale 77 footer. Something to go with Revells 80 footer! Haveing built models since the age of 8, im 50 now and most of those were various Revell PT Boats, i do have a strong interest! Were planning to do a resin, limited run, 77 footer. Right now were still building a plug for the hull than will start the plugs for the other structures. Were looking at all the sources for additional features/scale parts and have not decided yet what we can do in resin outside of basic parts? Its a hobby of mine that for a second time is generating into a business prospect. We'll try to keep those interested informed of our progress, but i do have a full time job and other interests as well so progress will be slow for the time being, hopefully picking up with the arrival of summer soon....i hope!

Dam the torpedoes...full speed ahead!

Agree with a call for a 1/72nd scale Elco 77-footer.

I like the looks of the second-series 77-footers myself, a little more so than the first-series 77' boats, but - a lot of those first series 77-footers fought the "Tokyo Express" around Guadalcanal in the early days.

Ideally, if one 1/72nd scale 77-foot Elco kit were to be produced, I'd love it be a second-series boat, with extra parts to customize it into a PT 59/60/61 gunboat if so desired.
