I had 5 at one time once and swore I'd never get myself into a position like that again. I finished all but one and I'm still working on that one. I have 2 on the bench now soon to be 4. :whistle:
Good start on the old fella Lyle. That is one of their older molds from 63. Yours is a more recent rebox from 2011.The kit before yours was boxed as PT-167. You should be able to build it as that if you wish. one on the items Revell left off the 109 was the 37mm cannon mounted just fore of the pilot house. There are aftermarket 37's made for that kit but I know you were saying you might not build that boat.
I'm going to enjoy watching this come together.
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

Yeah, the 37 was a big omission. Any suggestions fit the flag? They have decals.

Yes, but you are addicted.

They have decals for 167? The splinter camo looks great on that boat.

I haven’t looked yet. Probably do that, though.

:wow: Now that would be some work to paint. Lots and lots of masking.

I already go batty with some of the stuff I do, that would drive me over the edge. Besides, you wouldn't be able to find it on the shelf once you put it up. :headslap:
