Fine Scale Modeler Magazine is once again having their yearly survey of desired model kits. Here is the link:

We asked for a 1/35 scale PT 103 last year and Italeri delivered the PT 109. I requested a new 1/72 scale PT 103 and a new 1/35 PT Accessory Kit with the turret mounted 20 mm seen on PT 156 and PT 157. You don't have to be a subscriber to submit.

Hi Steve, I'm with Frank on the 77' Eclo, but I don't think anyone would be upset to see a 78' Higgins boat. Both would be cash cows. Most all the armerment is alreadkly designed as well as most of the fittings. All they basicly have to do is make a hull, deck and chart house. Later they could come out with a new accessories kit with Lewis machine guns, 50 cal's, doubles and singles wiith shields, mounts and ammo box's, early Higgins torpedo tubes and late roll off torpedo racks. A crew for both boats would also be nice, as well as ropes, helmets, etc.
