I have a lot of difficulty interpreting ship hulls. The only way I was able to do the swift boat was because I had a pl@$t!c model to look at. That's what's holding me back with the PBR.

That's a very fine looking Model! Time to save my tuppence for this, and the Airway Beacon @ Murph's Store!

Dear Herky:
There are relatively very few riverine warfare models. Looking forward for this build (and these should have not to many complications).
And thank you Aaron for the design!

I've been trying to find a Coast Guard boat along the lines of the Swift Boat, but there aren't too many, and most have been done already.
