Thanks for the heads up Blake... been out of the boat scene for awhile now... don't really plan on going back to it...Nice to know the 109 is around... did one in wood back in the daySaxondog wrote:Kits available on the EVIL-BAY in the US for around 140.00 plus average shipping of another 50.00 . So 200.00 US Dollars. Seems like model kits are certainly costing more these days. Still it is a fine kits and after much thought I have decided to sell my children and buy all the kits I want.
Tanks and ships, problem being damn e-bay, can you believe a matched set of twins, one boy and one girl in perfect condition cannot be listed!
Some crap about selling humans, what the heck is the world coming to when you cannot even sell your children to buy cool stuff? Oh well guess Ill have to wait until I win the lottery.
All kidding aside , this kit and several others from Italeri are listed including the 1/35 PT-109 ELCO BOAT KIT another fine kit. for around 100.00 us. If anyone is interested in one of these fine ships.
But just like aircraft...a part of the RC hobby ...that for me has faded away
With that said... I still appreciate people like Earwig who share what they've done... and you who share what you know and find...as it benefits everyone who wants to enjoy and relax ... doing something productive and fun
Have a great day SaxonDog
