You son of a gun Bob. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL. I can't believe how far you have gotten with this project. Arthur is going to be so proud to see her, as I am. The Torpedoes look great........................................

Looks great, Bob. Higgins veterans and fans will rejoice at this beauty of yours when she's finished.

As much as I'd like to see a 1/35th scale PT 45-68 77' Elco with extra parts for a gunboat version kit next from Italeri, maybe... [:-lookhappy-:]

I stated in my 5 or 6 other attemps to post the pic's with Photo Bucket that notne of these parts are glued down, and the colors are all primer. There's a lot more detail and clean up yet. I'm with you Drew on Italeri putting out a 77 ' Elco. One thing for sure if they put out a Higgins and thely make the same mistakes on it they did with the 80' Elco they will be spotted a lot sooner. And Steve Thanks Again!
