2008 reissue from the original molds. Full hull model that is 9 inches long with torpedoes, 20mm and 50 caliber guns and 3 crew figures. The kit has never been started. Internal factory sealed bag including decals and instructions. And thank you for the following data from Jim Pearsall IPMS 2209 and Steve Payne IPMS 47035: PT boats were not commissioned individually, but were commissioned in squadrons of 12 to 16 boats. Squadrons generally had all the same type boat. PT-212 was assigned to MTBRON 15, which was commissioned in January 1943 and included PTs 201 through 218 and sent to the Mediterranean with these 78-foot Higgens boats. MTBRON 15 was active in Africa, Sicily, Capri and Italy. The RON was decommissioned in October of 1944. To place this in historical perspective, this period of WW II in the Mediterranean included the invasions of Sicily, Italy, Anzio and the South of France.
