Description:

Torpedo Boat PT 117

This code number 05048 belongs to the old PT series tooled originally in 1963, and initially as the iconic PT-109 were John F. Kennedy served during WWII. The boat is an 80′ Elco PT boat class.

There is around 10-12 different releases for the same kit, by Revell Germany or Revell-USA or just Revell, and a number of different markings from time to time, but the line of this kit extinguished in 2011 with two last releases, Revell – 0310 – PT-109 P.T. Boat (Revell USA) and Revell – 00026 – Torpedo Boat PT167, Revell Germany.

The Kit was considered quite correct despite its age, though fitting is not easy and filling and sanding is required. This particular edition included decals only for the PT 117.

In the year 2018 Revell tooled a new Elco 80-feet PT released initially as Revell – 05147 – Patrol Torpedo Boat PT-109, upgraded with new parts in 2019 as Revell – 05165 – Patrol Torpedo Boat PT-579/PT-588 and upgraded again in 2022 as Revell – 05175 – Patrol Torpedo Boat PT-160. This last series by Revell is considered without doubt the best Elco 80-feet PT kits in 1/72 scale.
