Looks great. Nice job. I really like the Tamiya PBR and have built a few over the years. Is the engine and compartment all scratch? I did similar a few years ago.

Thanks Gino.Yes the engine room is scratch build using the Academy M113 engine as base as it is the same Detroit diesel engine used in the PBR just the marine version

The Tamiya depicts a petrol engine but is still a good starting point.I remember your build from the old site.This build took me nearly 5 years to complete because of many factors..

Yes great build Oliver! Always like to see in-progress pics. Details, scratchbuilt items,
figures all well done, and enjoy the fact based inspiration too.
