See above, it is unfortunately not a PBR  :(

FYI: The Rambo  set comes with a Rag Boat, not a PBR. I just snagged one recently. On the up side, you also get the Huey.  :D

Thanks for ferreting out The PBR in the Barrage photo.
Am sending an email today to them about the boat.

Barrage e -mailed me yesterday about the PBR.
They were working on it, that's a plus.
No time frame when they will put it out.

If you want a cheap alternative M-48 then Revell do 1/48 a 'Snaptite' toy that comes in lurid colours but is otherwise not bad. The rear engine grill is a little off and it lacks details but nothing that can't be remedied with brass wire, plastic rod and a little putty.

IIRC I posted a WIP on here of one I converted some time back.

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Dans les situations critiques, quand on parle avec un calibre bien en pogne, personne ne conteste plus. Y'a des statistiques là-dessus.

And sadly the mould has deteriorated and the master is no longer suitable to be used for a new mould. I asked several years ago. If we had an intact, unassembled version, it could be re-done.

I have one of the Cold Wars PBRs.
A very nice model.
Sad to say, it is no longer being made.
Guys, e-mail Barrage Miniatures,
they are making one.
Please show some support and interest.
