Lovely build Cash, will you be doing a bit of weathering on her? or will you just let the elements do it.😐
Cheers, Pete ▲

Joe, the Tamiya tape works reall well on plastic to plastic joins, or any smooth clean surface. If on wood, you want to make sure the area is sanded and maybe coated with CA or epoxy

That's so much more lifelike Cash - the awnings were never pristine . Watched a couple of videos on Vietnam boats after Googling PBR's - that awning is definitely "real"

That looks better Cash,-shame you weren't closer, I could have sent you a bit of the green canvas look-alike material I found for my Seaplane Tender, (see my harbour)

Nice build Cash👍, was thinking to buy one of these from Deans, as I built the Tamiya one some years ago, and liked the design, Deans kits are not the best instructions, but you have done really well sussing them out😀looking forward to seeing her maiden sail.
Cheers, Pete ▲

Thanks Martin. I’m thinking I’m not real happy with the canopy though. Might make another...but thanks for the kind comments. This boat has more going on in its construction than I originally thought, but I’m bulling through it.

Hi Peter, sorry for the late reply. The Deans PBR has a molded hull, deck, fwd superstructure and upper radar(?) housing. I think it’s radar, not sure. Y’all have to remember, I’m a groundpounder, my main interest for years was aviation. So, sometimes I work on a naval project and wonder what the heck it was that I just built and attached to my boat🤣
There’s also a couple of moldings for motor mounting and rx/esc mounting. Since I went with a brushless motor I had no need for the molded mount, and the jury’s still out on the electronics moldings. Cash ▲

“ Cash; Didn't Errol once have plans to fit a 12 pounder on the foredeck, but had to settle for a 20mm Oerlikon? 😉
😎 “ Fleet, that’s why he was pining for the PT..40mm Bofors plus torpedoes 😁 ▲

At least Errol does not insist on lying on everything unlike Willie. Are you going to have working armament so he can deal with the Rabbits ?
Looking good so far . Have the hull only (long story) - nothing else - so be good to see how it goes together . Were there further mouldings or just the hull? ▲

I gave Errol a credit card, but he got behind on the payments! 🤣 That’s why he’s in the Texas Navy, needs to learn discipline...

Martin, I’m about 15 hrs into the PBR, I’m figuring 20-30 hrs more....maybe 2-3 added to fix what I foul up🤣

Coming along nicely. I also have kitty problems in that the cats always want to help me with building, As soon as I get to my workbench they are up there carefully inspecting my work for flaws.
Sometimes they type on the computer too ; oxxccnnmmsks opkmsxkmk mxmkm ksmnsnqsmx mknsijjs ▲

Good start.
On the subject of cats, you can get over this problem by giving them a credit card each. I have with both of mine and now all that arrives on the doorstep is the odd mouse and bird. I am trying to retrain them to buy kitty treats instead.😀 ▲
