Drifterdon Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Very nice Geoff! I have this kit and the earlier Merit late model Elco 80 footer. How was the build? Any problem areas I should be aware of? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff M Posted November 9 Author Share Posted November 9 Sorry for the delay in responding. I really enjoyed this kit. I have wanted to build a PT boat for a long time. The real problem is coming up with an accurate color scheme. I painted mine in a factory scheme but I am sure that it was changed shortly after arriving in the Pacific. But try to find a picture and what are the colors. The only problem I had is the windshield. It is a flat piece of acetate type plastic that needs to be bent to the correct angles to fit the frame which is photo etch. It was hard to get it to all come together. Good luck with yours.
