Am building a Pibber and have a swift boat looking for pics and ideas from modelers who have built the same or have Viet Nam Dios. Love to see em please send photos for ideas
The epoxy I used for the water in my dio was Glaze Coat by Famowood. Really easy to use and set up overnight. I found it at Home Depot and it did cost about $17.00 for a 1 quart size. Hope this helps.

Hi jim,
I built the pbr years ago (it’s a very nice kit I think) and I have 2 (or 3??, dont know my own stash) waiting. One of them I’m going to superdetail, that means including an engine and the jaccuzi waterjets etc etc. I started on that one but other things got in the way. also have the 1/48 swift boat, actually just as a guide because I wanted to scratchbuild one in 1/35 but that project is also on hold.
here’s a nice site that has several vietnam dio’s

you have to sign in to see more of it.
If you want to see some of my own pictures just let me know and I’ll email them to you.
good luck with your diorama’s!
kind regards

Some years ago there was a very thick book out about Viet-nam. In it was a great picture of a guy in a flak jacket kneeling down on the bowfiring flaming arrows into the brush ahead of the boat.
