hello Sean,
thanks for the news.all of the new items would make a South Pacific PT Dio look great.
the Officer and Sailor Figures are nicly done,but the Officer looks more like a long service Petty Officer.
again thanks for the news.
cheers,
Bruce

Their prices are all over the place. 68 Euro for a 80' Elco boat and then a little crane for 32 Euro?
....and for 22 Euro, the generator would need to power at least 1 light bulb.
Never the less, nicely sculptured.

P.S Where's the pic of the 1:35th Elco?

Some interesting items, but are they actually being released? A while ago there was a report that Royal Model was releasing some life-Jackets for the Elco, I haven't seen them listed anywhere. Just wondering. Al

Hi Al
They are on the accessory set (together with the Pelican )

Interesting releases, and I, would like to see the all diorama that serve as a "catalog" for Royal Models PT-Boat
Thanks for sharing Sean

Hello Rui, I don't think the life-jackets are the same ones. The original ones shown were made to hang off the sides of the day cabin. These new ones look flatter to me, like they were meant to lie on top of the cabin. AL
