PBR 31 Mk.II 'Pibber' 1/35 Kit from Tamiya 35150 -

The Patrol Boat, River served as a frontline asset in Vietnam-era river patrols. Built for quick deployment and effective handling in confined waterways, these boats proved vital for patrol and interdiction tasks. The PBR 31 Mk.II, produced by Modutec Marine, stood out for its agility and armament layout, using twin turbocharged Detroit Diesel engines with water jet drives to reach speeds above 25 knots.

The kit contains four crew figures in period attire, weapon detail parts, and accessories including ammo cans and a portable radio. Two marking options come on the decal sheets and a display stand is provided for presentation.
