TLAR Models kit #617. 1/700 scale US Navy Asheville class Vietnam era patrol gunboat waterline ship model kit. The new kit's resin parts include pressure cast hull, superstructure, 3".50 caliber gun turret with turret targeting radar dish, 40mm gun mount, searchlight platform, 25-foot RHIB boat and 10 foot ship's boat.
Fine hatch, ladder and handrail details cast into the deck & superstructure of your new PG Kit!
Turned brass gun barrels for the 3".50 and 40mm gun. Photo-etched mast, and .015 brass wire for the boat hoist. 2 double sided pages of color instructions.
Brand-new decal sheet covers all 17 US Navy Asheville class PG's with 2 US flags for each vessel, 3 bow numbers, 3 stern hull numbers and 2 each stern nameplates.
Experience demonstrates that 20-25 Asheville kits may be cast before the mold comes to the end of it's useful life. Every limited edition kit is numbered, and autographed by all the TLAR crew members
that had a hand in designing, molding, casting and marketing this sweet little model kit!
I am proud to make these Vessels right here in these United States. Despite the impending USPS price increase, TLAR Model's kits still ship for free in the continental United States.
