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. The Pre-S hardbox has like-new color and gloss, four solid corners, no tape or price tags (and no marks from either), no tears and no missing litho, fading or stains. There is very light wear. This is one of Revell's earlier 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. One piece (a gunner) has a small part broken off, but that part is whole and included. 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"."
