I first caught a glimpse of this set early in 2008 at the Nuremberg Trade Fair. Now, the first images are available....
5606 - PT Boat Crew This is a 10-figure set in styrene from Italeri designed to be used with their U.S. PT boat in the same scale. Other uses seem pretty apparent - for their LCM or LCVP so, if it comes up to scratch, it SHOULD be a useful set.

Unfortunately, it looks (at least initially) as if these are single-mouldings rather than the multipose approach of other companies.

Images found on the Jadar and Italeri websites.

The figures look good, and I already ordered a set. Two things bother me though. There are three sitting figures, two are for the Bofors, what is the third one for? Secondly, there are no officers included. There is one figure holding binoculars, but he is wearing Dungarees. He could be converted with a little effort. But all in all a useful and welcome set of naval figures. Al
