Are there manufacturers of Vietnam War brown navy vessels in 28mm? Thanks |

It's nominally 1/48th scale, so I suspect you can purchase some plastic model kits for that. |

Old Glory and Grand Manner are the only wargames manufacturers working in 28mm for the Brown Water Navy. There are a couple of 1/48 scale plastic kits still available (RAG boat and PCF Swift Boat). There were a couple of resin PBR's made by a company a few years back but if you are lucky you may pick them up via the secondhand market. No one makes a decent PBR now. There is an Old Glory version but it's not great. Plenty of companies make Sampans but that's about it. |

I have the Old Glory bosts: ATC and ATC(H) -
PBR –
Monitor –
The PBR comes with crew (coxswain,and gunners) and I used some vehicle riders in flak jackets for the ATC gunners. Still looking for USN Sailors (I proxies some Lads in berets and a few guys in dungares). |

I'd also look up Empress mini's new Vietnam range, their Facebook page shows they are working on river craft as well as crews. |
