NEW Revell 1/72 Patrol Boat PT-109 commanded by LTJG John F. Kennedy
First deployed to the South Pacific in August 1942, PT-109 was already war-weary by the time Lt. j.g. John F. Kennedy took command. The saga of the boat’s collision and sinking and the subsequent rescue is well worth researching. If you haven’t yet seen it, the movie “PT-10” with Cliff Robertson as John F. Kennedy gives an account of the actions of PT Boats in general, and of Kennedy’s 109 in particular. Revell’s excellent 20-page, 52-step instruction booklet offers two build options: as a 1942 newly built boat in Navy gray or as the dark green scavenged boat at the time of its sinking on August 2, 1943, with a 37mm antitank gun mounted on the forward deck, as directed by LTJG Kennedy. The excellent Revell kit has finally been upgraded to render an accurate depiction of PT-109 in its late configuration prior to her loss, and makes an outstanding addition to any collection of historic vessels.
