First off thanks to Geoff for coming up with the idea for this GB and for being brave enough to try to keep the rabble in order.
My contribution will be this ....
The kit is a 1963 tooling although this is the 2011 re-release. The kit has two options. PT-167, as shown on the box art, and PT-109. No way am I tackling the box art camo.
PT-109 was commanded by Lieutenant John F Kennedy towards the end of WW2. Regardless of his politics or his personal life JFK was certainly a very courageous man. Those interested can read the story of his survival from the wreck of PT109 HERE
I also have the Eduard PE set and some 3D printed crew.
I think the boat and the man are "US iconic"
