RE: I'll be damned!
Pat,
I stand (or sit) corrected. I have mixed thoughts on the PT boat myself. I have a great fondness for PTs (I own several different scratch built, kitbashed & RTR ones) Yes, I owned one when they were sold by Midwest. No, I did not seem to have any of the leaking problems that plagued them but I typically rework boats as I get them. I am a stickler for details and reworked the PT boat into something that I felt was very presentable. We will see how these newer models compare to the Midwest ones.
By the way Pat, I read your review of the Yamato... the only word I can think of is AWESOME!
Pete
