Well, if anything they are 'cute'. Not too hard to scratchbuild thinner masts and a 37mm gun here or there...,or some depth charges aft....
Pleased they didnt provide huge billboard white lettered PT 109 for the bows....oh wait, maybe thats coming.....now where is the Shigure????

okay okay I am leaving.....

OOOOPs it was the Amagiri that rammed the 109 not Shigure

Thet do look like pretty neat little kits, although I am note sure about the logic of putting two different scales in one box.

Catalina bundled with the later, quite a good idea, although i would have thought putting one or two boats in a box, same scale& marketing the catalinas seperately would make more sense.

Certainly this should be nice, but 25bucks seems pretty steep, or am I out of perspective?

You might want to consider the view of Al Ross, noted author, modeler, and expert on PTs: "...these are crude and toy-like, bordering on cartoonish. The hull shape is wrong and the details are grossly out of scale. Compare them with WEM's kits in both scales and PT Dockyard's kits in 1/600 and you'll see what I mean."
