Ummmm. Well . . . if you happen to have a spare hull around. One of these would sure be interesting.

RE: Build Idea
I've got a Pibber too! Mine used to look as nice as yours until my daughter took it into the bathtub! Now it looks like PBR "Street Gang" after Chef called "Almighty"! [:-]

I love your PBR. Is it R/C version? Where you got it? I've been looking for a R/C PBR and PCF in the market but I don't see any

The PBR is a 1/16 scratchbuild, using the Tamiya 1/35 scale PBR as a guide. It is on a modified hull that I got from a Toys R Us r/c boat that was real close to the PBR size and shape. The tank part is an old Chicago International Abrams tank that was about 1/20 scale, I think. It was an r/c tank and had two speeds ..... off and warp speed. That tank could pop wheelies and catch cats! I built that "model" as a joke because some of my tanker friends are also in a boat club, and I wanted a model that could be in either activity. I have fun being senile. The model boat hull I used was a New Bright....... "Pelican" fishing boat. I don't know if it's still available anywhere. I can post more photos if that will help you.
