Hello at all,
This is my new Projekt.
It was a PBR fron the Movie: " Apocalypse Now" :)

Another excellent model! This one brings back memories from my tour in Vietnam as advisor to a Vietnamese infantry battalion in the Mekong Delta 1966/67 (the advisor team consisted of me and two sergeants). I saw a lot of PBRs on the Co Chien and Bassac Rivers during that time (and had a few trips, including one amphibious operation, in an LCM similar to the one you have modeled).

Here is a web site with lots of photographs of PBRs: http://brownwater-navy.com/vietnam/vietnam.htm

Great work, as always! I really enjoy watching these little gems take shape, especially the ones, like this PBR, with which I have a personal or profession connection.

Will you make the PBR available to other modelers, as you have some of the others (including the LCM)? I'd love to build this PBR, the LCAC, and the LCI(L).

I think I recognize the crew member. I can't remember his name, but his radio call sign was "Charlie Tuna."
