tankerbuilder, yes it’s a “Higgin’s” and I believe it’s in 1/87th scale.

The Revell Higgins is somewhere between 1/96 and 1/100. I have one that I have been trying to work into a reasonable fascimile of a real Higgins PT for several years now. Would love to see a modern kit (even a short run resin) of a Higgins PT. I would prefer 1/72 to go along with the Revell Elco boats. While we are at it, how about an early Elco 77’ in 1/72 as well? I have a collection of 3 or 4 Airfix RAF rescue boats waiting to be sacrificed into an early Elco boat if I can ever figure out how or get the time to do it. Looks like it will be easier to model the first boats manufactured by Elco that were lend-leased to the UK rather than a 77’ early war version.
The Revell Higgins PT kit has been reissued as a 1:96 scale kit but it’s actually either 1:104 or 1:110 scale, depending who you ask.

Well, Dr. Graham’s book, Remembering Revll Model Kits, lists it as 1/98 - so there’s another choice.
My recollection (from a long, long time ago) is that the figures in the kit were just about on HO scale - which is 1/87. Somebody really needs to measure it; there’s no need for there to be any doubt about the subject.
Would you be willing to part with your 109? Just too beautiful to be missing from my collection. USS Brown my grandfather served on during WW2. USS Lionfish. USS Arizona.[oX)]
Sir,
THAT is a very nice PT model. You should be very proud of it.
