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

The Patrol Boat, River was a cornerstone of river patrol missions during the Vietnam conflict. Engineered for quick production and frontline flexibility, these hulls performed well in narrow channels and rivers. The PBR 31 Mk.II from Modutec Marine became known for its fast response and heavy armament package, using twin turbocharged Detroit Diesel engines paired with water jet propulsion to push past 25 knots.

Included are four crew figures with period uniforms, detailed weapon fittings, and accessories including ammo cans and a portable radio. Two decal marking choices are supplied and a display stand is part of the package.

Tamiya kits are known for good scale fidelity. This kit captures the PBR 31 Mk.II profile and deck fittings faithfully at 1/35, suitable for display or diorama work.
Use panel shading, washes and drybrushing to accentuate panel lines and equipment. Subtle chipping and grime around deck fittings add a service-worn look.
Yes, modellers often fit metal gun barrels, resin detail sets or photo-etched parts to elevate surface detail. Check fitment before permanent installation.
Look to period photographs, naval history books and specialist online archives for paint schemes and insignia to match the two decal options supplied with the kit.
