This is a late model PT Boat (1945).  It would be a nice addition to the 1.05 vessels.  Here's a link to a cool PT Boat website.

DUKW or LVT4 Amtracs sure would be nice  

And we already have the engine for the PT boats modeled.  

Packards. Is there nothing you can't stuff them into?

I hope HTC models the PT 73, with Capt. Binghampton getting seasick over the side.

I hope that HTC models the USS Caine, has manable positions, and then the ability to "vote" members of the crew out of the boat.  Then we can have some good ole mutinies!!!
