Tamiya 89735 - 1/35 U.S. Navy PBR31 Mk.II Patrol Boat Model  [89735]

Tamiya 1/35 U.S. Navy PBR31 Mk.II "Pibber" Model with Submarine Motor

The Tamiya 1/35 scale PBR31 Mk.II offers a faithful small-ship modelling project that highlights the craft used on river patrols during the Vietnam era. The box includes a submarine motor to introduce controlled movement to the finished model, making it an interesting piece for display cabinets. Experienced builders will appreciate the crisp moulding and accurate external detail.

Context and Collector Interest

The PBR31 Mk.II performed in confined waterways where speed and handling were important, and this kit reflects those operational characteristics through its shape and fittings. It is a solid choice for modellers focused on naval history and scale accuracy.

About the Submarine Motor

The included submarine motor mounts to the hull to simulate propulsion for display use. It requires one AA battery, which is not supplied within the kit, so plan to have a battery on hand when you build.
