I was wondering if there was any 25/28mm Vietnam riverine craft produced, and did find a webpage that briefly mentions Cold War Miniatures and their PBR model; no price was listed, unfortunately. There's also a mention about West Wind Productions and an offering of three riverine models, but a search on their site didn't turn up anything. Anyone here have an idea about the products of these two companies?

Thank you.

Both versions are available for £25.00 GBP each.

Let this be a casual warning for all of you: breakfast IS necessary to start your day off right, as I've yet to eat! Thanks, Dom. laugh

Any ideas about West Wind or a North American distributor for the PBR? Thanks, again.

I've a nasty feeling the West Wind are oop – certainly haven't seen 'em anywhere.

That's a shame, Dom. I wonder what they were, that is, if they were ever available to begin with?

Why not email 'em…?

Personal logo Saginaw Supporting Member of TMP18 Jun 2009 8:34 a.m. PST

I'll do that! If I find out something, I'll let you know. Thanks again, Dom. thumbs up

I think there was a UK based resin maker that had some too. I can't remember their name for the life of me, but they made a Horsa glider too! Grand Manner maybe?

Personally, I wouldn't use 1/48th with 28mm figures, but there are some 1/48th plastic kits that show up on eBay from time to time.

I'd say trooptwo's right with Grand Manner:
