Tamiya 35150 - 1/35 US Navy PBR 31MKII PIBBER VIETNAM

Byggesett i skala 1/35, dette er kun båt, maling lim og diverse kommer i tillegg

Når man visste at patruljerende kyst- og elvevannveier under en konflikt i Vietnam skulle bli ekstremt farlig, søkte den amerikanske marinen etter et båtdesign som raskt kunne produseres og som de fleste lett kunne manøvrere. Et valg ble en glassfiber båt bygget av Modutec Marine i Seattle Washington.

Knowing that patrolling coastal and river waterways during a conflict in Vietnam was going to be extremely hazardous, the U.S. Navy searched for a boat design that could be quickly produced and employed. One chosen was a fiberglass-hulled pleasure craft built by Modutec Marine in Seattle Washington.

The Patrol Boat, River or PBR as it was known militarily, became one of the most successful weapons systems used in Southeast Asia. It was 31″ 11″ long ; 11; 7″ wide, and 9″9″ high above the waterline. It displaced 8 3/4 tons loaded drawing two feet of water. It’s crew of four was armed with a pair of .50 cal gun or grenade launcher mounted on a tripod in the fantail, plus a single M-60 on a pipe mount bolted to one of the amidships splinter shields. It was powered by two turbocharged Detroit Diesel 205 HP, V-6 marine engines, driving a pair of Jaccuzzi 14JY water jetdrives. The engines were located underneath the aft decking, and the boat was steered by two movable nozzles below the water line, mounted on the rear transom. The water intakes were located on the hull bottom. It had a top speed in excess of 25 knots. Surface radar and two-way radio equipment provided communication and maneuvering safety.

This high-speed, heavily armed small craft was used heavily by U.S. forces in the Mekong Delta region. It is recreated with aplomb in this plastic model assembly kit, with details accurately captured from the hull form to the interior. The lethal 12.7mm and 7.62mm machine guns, plus the 40mm grenade launcher are realistically depicted along with a host of accessories such as jerry cans, plus 4 figures.
