1/144 PT boats

[pro]

Was there any US Navy PT boats in 1/144. I've found German and British but having problems with finding US Navy production kits, found a wood kit very expensive and a 3d printer kit. I would have thought revell had one or one of the old guys like Glencoe aurora

While I offer a "McHales Navy PT73" conversion kit for my Elco 80ft Class103 PT Boat (paper) model kit,
the real PT73 was in fact an old Higgins Motorboat.

PT109 was a Class103 Elco.

Just thought ya might like to know. lol

I know of some very small scale paper model PT Boats if you are interested. (1/200 and 1/400)
They could easily be enlarged to 1/144 during printing.

Kind of off topic, sorry... Revell released an interesting 1/72 kit as McHale's Navy PT-73 to capitalize on the TV show at the time. www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-h323-mc-hales-navy-pt-73--1137964 Per Scalemates, it would later be released as a generic Vosper MTB. To this day it is one of my favorite kits. I found it on eBay just a few weeks ago, as well as the PE enhancements which are still available for it from Eduard. Love that raised forecastle, what a beauty!
