Thanks, Gunny!

I wonder if they will do an update for the Italeri 35th scale PT boat...?

Hopefully, we'll see lots of aftermarket for it...hmmm, guess I'll have to take a bank loan out...

My gut tells me that Warriors will address Alan's quest for 35th scale sailors... Their sculptor, Bill Chilstrom, mentioned that he was considering doing an LCM crew... I think a PT crew is a natural as well...particularly with Dave Harper's most-awesome focus on Pacific Theater modelling subjects...

Much Aloha,

Johnny B.

Well, there's one way to find out...Mr. Snyder, are you out there?

If the kit is good, and lives up to all of the hype and expectations, Johnny, I'm sure that the A/M mfgs. will jump at the prospect...time will tell!

That would be very cool, mate, as there is a definite niche at the moment (and a growing demand! ) for such a set....
Cheers!

Well, we're waiting to see the Italeri kit to gauge what may be needed--but we're definitely planning some goodies if there is enough market and enouth interest!
