Mach2 1/72 US Navy PBR Mk.II 'Pibber'

[Smudge]

I started this in a GB some years back, and it has been on and off the bench many times as various hurdles were met, and possibly overcome. The Mach2 kit is ok but I felt I needed to add and improve here and there. Some scratch built items and replacements, and the inclusion of some Mini World brass guns, M2 .50 cals, which are little models in their own right.

 

Painted with enamels, but I used a Vietnam Dirt weathering powder, to try and add some interest.

Thanks for looking.

I never knew Mach2 did boats, you learn something everyday. A very nice model and the parts on the sprue look much better moulded than my York I am in the process of finishing off at the moment. All you need is a 1/72nd scale Martin Sheen.

Thank you, Mr T.

 

They do at least one other boat, an LCT landing craft, but I dont know much about it I'm affraid. 

 

Martin Sheen! there are some figures included, but they are pretty poor.

 

Good luck with the York.
