Modelholic Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I've always thought the Higgins was a better looking boat than the Elco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it'll be the only way to go? Doesn't 'MTB Hulls' do US Higgins PT boat hull in 1/72? Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 With no kit, £30 well spent. All we need is lots upper plans and pics and we'll be well away. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Remembered these by A Ross. Probably the best http://hoboats.com/id1.html CF5 PT209 which went to the RN in the Med as MTB185 Kev PS Just remembered I'm sure Christian of MTB Hulls supplies a photocopy of plan and elevation. Worth an email if anyone is interested Edited February 5, 2018 by longshanks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncarina Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I know which one I’m building: http://www.navsource.org/archives/12/05214.htm Stan Barnes was my uncle and commanded Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron Fifteen. I have always wanted to honor him by building a Higgins boat. Cheers, Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
