Patrol Boat River (PBR) 31 MK.II, model, 615 parts
The Patrol Boat, River (also known as the Patrol Boat, Riverine or PBR) is a very distinctive American boat for the Vietnam conflict, used for river patrol and transporting soldiers. Its characteristic features were a very flat design, a hull made of fibreglass and a water jet propulsion system that allowed you to sail in shallow water. The boat reached a top speed of 28.5 knots (53 km / h 32 mph). The crew consisted of four soldiers. Usually a first-class non-commissioned officer served as captain of the ship with a gunner, a mechanic and a seaman on board. The boat made up for the lack of armour with quite a lot of firepower. The equipment normally carried a double-coupled M2HB of 0.50 to 12.7 mm at the bow and a single M2HB at the stern. In addition, the crew had a grenade launcher and a set of M16 rifles. More powerful configurations were also available. The boats were used by the US Navy until the 1990s. They are still popular with civilians.
From a set of 615 COBI building blocks, you build an American cult patrol boat reproduced in sensational 1:35 scale. The model has been faithfully recreated with high quality bricks, complemented by a special construction method that makes up the characteristic PBR roof! Discrete wheels are mounted in the flat bottom of the boat, allowing it to roll on flat surfaces such as carpet, office or floor when playing. The fun gets even better!
On board is armament in the form of M2HB block guns. The model includes a full crew of four soldiers with accessories and their personal weapons. Fans of COBI blocks will surely notice another novelty besides the fabric, namely the new pattern of the waving flag! When built, the boat measures 28 cm. It is a great addition to the VIETNAM WAR collection. The block model of the patrol boat requires no gluing or painting. All graphics and lettering are applied to the blocks in the form of very durable prints that will not wear or fade under the influence of sun, water or even very intense play. No stickers have been used in the model. The set is sure to bring much satisfaction to the youngest fans of blocks as well as adult history and sea lovers. The model of the patrol boat is sure to look spectacular on the collector's desk as well as in the room of any teenager.
