Tamiya 89735 - 1/35 PBR31 Mk.II River Patrol Boat Kit  [89735]

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

The Tamiya 1/35 scale model of the U.S. Navy PBR31 Mk.II "Pibber" captures the look and feel of the river patrol boat used in Vietnam, giving builders a detailed and focused modelling project. The limited-run kit comes with a submarine motor to add subtle motion to display builds. The assembly is well suited to hobbyists who value accurate small-scale naval detail.

Why This Model Appeals to Historical Modellers

The PBR31 Mk.II was a nimble patrol boat that operated on inland waterways during the Vietnam conflict, prized for its maneuverability. This kit reproduces key external features so you can recreate authentic markings and fittings while enjoying a satisfying build process.

Included Submarine Motor Explained

The kit includes a compact submarine motor that mounts under the hull to provide gentle propulsion for diorama or display use. The motor runs on a single AA battery, which is not supplied with the kit, so factor that in when planning your display.
