The PBR or Patrol Boat, River, was essential to inland water operations in the Vietnam campaign. Designed for quick manufacture and frontline use, these boats were suited to narrow rivers and canals. The Mk.II version from Modutec Marine earned a reputation for sharp manoeuvrability and substantial armament, driven by twin turbocharged Detroit Diesel engines paired with water jet propulsion. Top running speeds are recorded at over 25 knots.
This 1/35 Tamiya kit reconstructs the PBR 31 Mk.II with approximately 110 parts, offering an engaging assembly process. Included are four crew figures wearing period kit, detailed weapon mounts, and accessories such as ammo cans and a portable radio. Two decal schemes are provided to vary the finished look, and a stand is supplied for display.
