Chris Behan -  PCF Mark 1 (Swift Boat)



Thought you may be interested in my latest 1/16 Vietnam craft its a PCF Mark 1 (Swift Boat) still one or more things to do yet painted in the May 1970 Riverine colour scheme. I was fortunate for it to be awarded "Highly Commended" by the judges in the competition at the 2006 National Model Engineering and Model show at Harrogate recently. Its a commercial fibreglass hull but with scratch built deck, Ammunition locker, superstructure, Pilot house etc, with some scratch building for the mast and modified  fittings that I had. Its three channel with twin geared motors running 12 volts a JJC engine sound and gunnery system and various other electronic signal lamp and light systems. Its a model of PCF 104 the Vietnam Memorial boat based in Coronado San Diego USA. Its equipped with the electronic PSYOPS equipment mounted on the mast and the writing on the side is actual Vietnamese. I hope you like it and if you like I will send some more when its completed together with the PBR and Bell, together they do look well. '

Great site,
Chris.
