I had heard last year that Italeri would be coming out with a brand new Higgins PT BOAT model in 2019. Well, here we are in December tomorrow and I have not seen the release. Anyone have any updated info?

I'm still waiting and hoping some day there will be a quality 77' Elco kit developed by some one, anyone.

It would surprise me if the Italeri 1/35 Higgins PT boat materializes in the next few weeks. Their last 1/35 boat kit was released in December 2017 (Schnellboot Typ S-38). A preview of this release was posted on the Italeri site in November 2017 (so a few weeks before the actual release of the kit). Therefore, I assume that Italeri would have published a preview of the Higgins kit by now if it were to hit the shelves this month ......

Regards,
