Vietnam PBR river boat

Post by frankie »

..been working on something a little different for me..
got a hull from eBay and I'm scratch building a 1/16ish "Pibber".
Nowhere near accurate but I think she'll look ok when done..

Blooming heck, I was thinking about maybe doing one of these a couple of weeks ago. Where did you get the hull?

That would be a really nice companion to this one. I would love to see them operate in tandem! http://www.loyalhannadockyard.com/PCFPATROLBOAT.htm
