For some reason I was thinking PBY when I entered this room.

Now a 1:18 scale PBY would be something I WOULD be interested in!

This was orginally a 21st century prototype. Now wheter or not it made it to the mold stage who knows.
I would much rather see this type of item made rather than say the F-14. At least the PBR saw real action and not just Top Gun competitions.

I really want this. Why did they not ever make this? Every time that I see that pic, I feel like I am missing out on something.

You could have a VC sampan too and sink it with bottle rockets off the PBR!

The gulf was a turkey shoot for the flyboys. PBR's got to eyeball it with the enemy plenty.

Famous quote from Apocalypse Now. I might have paraphrased slightly.
Of course it is hard to do a tilted voice over in text...
Actual quote from the movie, "It's a way we had over here for living with ourselves. We cut 'em in half with a machine gun and give 'em a Band-Aid. It was a lie. And the more I saw them, the more I hated lies."

I would buy one, but I'd rather have a 1:18 PT-Boat. And yes, it would have to float.

A 1:18 PBR would be an interesting and desireable option for a certain segment of collectors, but it seems it'd be pretty difficult to get it to a true 1:18 scale.
A real PBR is 30 feet long. If my calculations are correct, a 1:18 version would have to be 22.5 inches long
