Revell’s classic kit of the PT 117 torpedo boat features a one-piece hull with detailed deck and superstructure. Also includes four crew figures, a display stand, and decals.

The PT 117 was one of the smallest, fastest and most maneuverable combat ships in the US Navy, the “patrol torpedo boats” – also called Mosquitos – because they “stabbed” their opponents at high speed. Four high-performance compressor engines (12 cyl. Packard) with 2500 hp each gave the boat a top speed of 50 knots. In addition, these boats had special hulls that glided over the water, displacement 50 t. Equipped with 4 torpedoes, 4 machine guns and an anti-aircraft cannon, they posed a serious danger to the enemy, especially in limited island waters in the Pacific. A disadvantage was the high fuel consumption and the specified use in calm waters.About the model: One-piece hull Detailed deck with superstructure Command post with steering wheel Three propellers Four torpedo tubes Two MG stands 4 soldier figures An anti-aircraft gun Display stand Flag panel and decalsColors: 5 8 35 36 56 57 69 79 85 89 91 92 99Information about the model: Scale: 1:72 Items: 80 Length: 338mm Skill level: 3Information about the original Type description: Battleship Drive power: 2500 hp each Engine: 4 x 12 cyl.
