Revell PT 109 1/72 Scale

Immortalized as the boat commanded by John F. Kennedy in the hard fought waters off Guadalcanal during WWII, the PT 109 was rammed and cut in half by a Japanese destroyer in 1942. Kennedy spent most of the next few days in the water rescuing crew members and swimming to distant islands for help. It was the beginning of a legend that would lead to the White House. Features crew figures and detailed torpedo tubes.

Review Summary:
GOOD. Early weapons fit 80' ELCO. Good model, though I would like alternate decals, since not everyone wants to build JFK's boat. Fit good, lots of detail. The deck lines need to be sanded down, since it was plywood, not planked
