Tamiya 89735 - 1/35 PBR31 Mk.II Patrol Boat Limited Edition Kit  [89735]

Tamiya 1/35 PBR31 Mk.II "Pibber" River Patrol Model with Sub Motor

The Tamiya 1/35 rendition of the U.S. Navy PBR31 Mk.II "Pibber" brings a compact riverine vessel to the modelling bench, with finely moulded parts that catch the boat's defining silhouettes. A submarine motor is packed with the kit to supply subtle motion for display scenes. Builders who prioritise scale fidelity will find this kit rewarding to assemble.

Model Background and Builder Appeal

The PBR31 Mk.II was deployed in tight inland channels where its speed and handling mattered, and this kit mirrors those features so modellers can replicate authentic deck arrangements. The level of detail lends itself to close-up displays and diorama work.

Motor Integration and Power Notes

The supplied submarine motor fits under the hull to give the assembled model a moving element for showcases. It is powered by one AA battery which you must provide separately; the kit does not include the battery.
