1/98 H304-98 Revell PT-212 - PT Boat (Higgins Patrol Torpedo Boat) - Pre 'S' Issue
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Rare original issue dated 1953. This is one of Revell's very early ship kits, issued shortly after the release of the Missouri in the same year. Inside, the kit has never been started and has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. The box is 100% intact with remarkable color & gloss and four perfect corners. It does have a tiny litho chip at the center of the Revell red and white logo bars if you look closely. Thank you to Joe Couture for his important note about this kit: "The PT212 is a HIGGINS built boat, unlike the ELCO version made by most other manufacturers. The ELCO was effective and widely used in the Pacific, whereas the Higgins, somewhat smaller, could turn and accelerate more sharply, and was used in the Mediterranean against Italian shipping, all along the coast of the "Boot"."
