This is a step in the right direction, very commendable. But my Gawd,did we have to wait two years for this?? I was fully expecting another SET. This is not rocket science nor is it a watchmakers intricate researched item. I think if this was part of a released group of 4 or 5 new figures, same vintage...maybe 3 swabbies and a CPO.... each in casual dungaree dress or whatever, would be sweet. For the PT Boat builders, who may have been waiting all this time for something new, its, NICE, but a letdown when you may have set this aside for multiple kit figures...

Spend many hours with my Bucket, sponge, and scouring powder washing down the engine room equipment. Then more hours polishing the bright work.
For a bucket, pick up the Part PE set, or the new RB buckets made from turned brass.
I agree with Roy, as it would have been nice as a set of sailors with a PO/CPO supervising the work detail.

Hi Ray,

I think the figs have been out about a year or so now, maybe more. Here's a link to their site

I came acroos these other chaps when browsing around.





These two are new to me, look pretty generic and useable as USN crew with the addition of a cap or two:



U Models also have about 7 newish USN figuers of crew working on the boat, scroll across toward the end of the link for these.
