II was one of the most important combat assets of the American riverine forces (the 'Brown Water Navy') on the waters of the Mekong during the Vietnam War (1966–1975, the period of the conflict in Southeast Asia). Boats of this type took part in patrols, escorts, and special operations, providing support to soldiers during combat in marshy areas. Thanks to jet propulsion, PBRs could move swiftly and maneuver easily in shallow waters, while their armament made them effective combat tools against both land targets and other river units.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eModel Kit Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/35\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal user country:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical period:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vietnam War, 1960s and 1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality plastic (polystyrene); kit does not include glue or paints\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit additions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Detailed armament elements (M2 and M60 machine guns), transparent parts (windows), U.S. Navy crew figures, and various pieces of deck equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic model kit for assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommendation and Difficulty Level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Tamiya 35150 PBR31 MK.
