This review is from: Italeri Elco 80' Torpedo Boat PT-596 (Toy)
If you are thinking of building an extremely accurate version of a late-war Elco boat, you can stop looking.
This kit goes together perfectly if you use the novel approach of following the directions. The only after-market accessories I used were the "Harbor accessories" kit, the Accurate Armor 20mm Oerlikon Cannon with the RB Model 20mm barrel, and brass propellers. I also used some of the signal flags from Squadron, but DO NOT use the 1/35th scale flag kit..... they're WAY too large. Use the 72/A02 Tauro model kit and True Details 1:35 & 1:72 Star/Flags/Jacks kit # TD90001. I also discarded the kit decals and used the correct number kit decals from Accurate Armor. (You get 3 sheets so you can re-number the boat if you wish which I did) Other than that, about 60-70 hours, and some prior modelling experience, you will have a museum-quality PT boat. It's a very impressive 28 inches long when completed so make sure you've got the room. The wife may not take too kindly to the new centerpiece on the dining-room table. HIGHLY recommended! |
