Awesome

By: Al (Mahopac. NY)

Tamiya hit another home run with this model. Not only was it easy to put together but the authenticity is incredible. It was like the one's I saw in Nam right down to the accessories. If purchased a must to paint.

Nice personality for a nautical kit

By: travis.getz

In real life, these 'Brown River Navy' boats were full of personality, because the crews lived and fought on them, and this kit lets the hobbyist capture that! My favorite part is the accessories, which can be configured in different ways should you want more than on in a scene. This kit is just begging to be in a diorama with a little Vietnamese fishing boat!

Very enjoyable project

By: burtmichael (Phoenix, AZ)

I really enjoyed putting this kit together. Unlike a lot of plastic models, the parts actually fit together, the instructions were fairly clear, and the result was outstanding.
