PT -598 is an example of a late war, heavily armed South Pacific based Patrol Boat. As the war in the Pacific drew to a close, the role of the PT's changed from night marauders against larger Japanese Naval units to attacks on the Japanese system of supply and troop barges that plied the various island groups. PT -598 is typical of those barge busting boats used in the final year of the war. She sported an impressive array of armament, including a single 40mm Bofors mount, a 37mm canon, a 20mm Oerlicon, two twin 50 caliber machine guns, 4 MK-13 torpedoes and 28 tube 5" spin stabilized rocket launchers. Our 1/16th (3/4"=1 ') scale 80' ELCO Semi-kit is for the modeler who want to build and operate a larger scale boat that is suitable for gas power, or even the large weed-eater style model motors. Large electric motors will alos power her.
Our 1 :16 scale 80 foot ELCO PT Boat model is a faithful reproduction of the original boat that served in the South Pacific during World War 2.
This 80' ELCO package comes as a fiberglass hull, deck, 2 cabin structures and rear engine cover. A set of 1 :16th scale plans is also included with this package. Then the modeler can chose to purchase additional parts from the available fittings listed on the fittings page as needed.
Price: $449.00
