Title: George Turner 1/24 Scale PT Boat
Post by: Shipmate60 on August 10, 2009, 02:07:34 pm: I am looking for information on the George Turner 1/24 scale PT Boat.
I have just checked it out from my loft and it looks superb.
Any ideas of when it was produced and the cost?

Post by: Shipmate60 on August 10, 2009, 04:31:58 pm: I know, it is amazing what I have in my loft.
I might thin a few more out, just wanting to find out more about it.
Its an untouched kit, looks superb though.

Easy build and goes like a rocket.

I think you'll find its approx 1/40 scale

Post by: Shipmate60 on August 10, 2009, 10:35:59 pm: Mine is the much larger 1/24 Scale and the recommended motors are 2 x Graupner 500's or 600's

Post by: andrewh on September 18, 2009, 12:54:24 am: George has changed his email, which may account for the lack of reply.

He would, I'm sure be mortified to know that he was seen as giving poor service, and I generally get him on the phone
