Vietnam River Gun Boat (Pibber)

These photos show the stern modified ready to fit up the twin jet units that will power and steer this vessel.

More photos in a week or so.

Looking forward to seeing what you used for jet drives - always wanted to modify a Tamiya PBR but the drives would be impossibly small - certainly no commercial ones available for 1/35 scale.
What hull was it that you used ? Looks like a good one.

Very interesting build sandkb, always fancied a build of one of these, since my build of a 1/35 plastic kit,
as redpmg requests, I would also like to know what jet drives you used, and the scale of the hull.😐

Cheers, Peter

Vietnam River Gun Boat (Pibber)

At last after 8 months I've finished my Vietnam River Gun Boat.
I've built this vessel using a made up fibreglass hull that pretty much measured up to the 1/9th scale with some modification that I wanted.
I will post photos of the build of the build over the next few weeks and answer any questions as they arise.
These pics show the initial hull modification underway.

Interested in your build of the Pibber River Gunboat. I have the Pro Boat version which performs well. Would like a bit bigger hull as there is not much room for normal size batteries.
Which hull did you use?
Also interested in the Patrol Craft Fast ( Swift boat)of the Vietnam era
