Greetings,
Italeri has announced that they are releasing their original PT Boat crew set. If you missed it the first time you have another opportunity.

This is the crew set I'll use if I ever get my Italeri 1/35th scale PT 109 done.

The only challenge is bashing the four 40 mm gun crew members into other crew positions.

Hopefully, the re-release won't be at the previous $35 + price, but it probably will be.

Ahh Drew,

On injection moulded plastic,

Around 1/2 a cent per figure,

Ten cents for the box,

Fifty cents for the box art and instructions,

About $3.50 profit,

That equates to about thirty five cents for Uncle Sam,

and the rest for shipping charges, somehow they have to pay for

those large container ships!!

Just my two cents worth (those you get for free)!

Have a good day,

Yours,

D.buck
