Amazingly original! Well done, Tiger Models!

And it has interior, too.

So want this in smaller scales, too!

Agreed. An unexpected and pleasant surprise...

Even I, not being a "maritime" modeler, want one Great release!

I will be adding this one to my stash.

Awesome! Will need lots of Live Resin bits to upgrade to a SEAL boat. And hopefully we'll see a SOC-R eventually too

And, with a Norwegian or Swedish crew, some very interesting / challenging splinter camouflage schemes, too.

Will be challenging 45 cm or one and a half foot long. Wonder how high the pricestag is? 120 Euros plus? Think of all the possibilities for AM comapanies. Weapons and crew figures for US, Swedish, Norwegian or Malasian boats? I better start saving.,.

Going thru there pic gallery on Facebook it appears there is a US version and Swedish version planned. I am going to have to get this and love it and hug it and squeeze it.

Wow! What a great piece! A very interesting subject and it appears to have been done beautifully. Well done Tiger!

Yes, PMMS shows both a Navy and Malaysian version.

The American version looks like it will be armed to the teeth. More tempting now. Al

The only boat I have in the stash is the Tamiya 'Pibber'...this little jewel could end up being #2! Anyone out there taking pre-orders??

Wiki has these folks as operators, which means aftermarket decals guys better wake up!

Operators:

Greece: Hellenic Coast Guard: 3

Malaysia: Malaysian Navy: 5 unit CB90, 12 unit CB90HEX

Mexico: Mexican Navy: 48

Norway: Royal Norwegian Navy: 20

Sweden: Royal Swedish Navy: 147 in service, 18 on order

United Kingdom: Royal Navy: 4, formerly leased from the Royal Swedish Navy, used to evaluate the option of potential acquisition and returned to the Swedish Navy.

United States: US Navy: 6, known as 'Riverine Command Boat'

Bad a$$ video...this could very well become the 'Model of the Year" for 2017...

There maybe one problem. How to make such hi-speed waves?

Any news on this beast? The release date and the price were supposed to be announced last month.

personally, I'd rather had a Nasty Boat!

If we all buy lots of these and suggest to Tiger Model that a Nasty boat would be really tasty then they might just possibly decide that 1/35th small craft is jolly good business
If we all go and buy lots of Italeris 1/35th MTB's then some other manufacturers might get the notion that this is really good business and we would be flooded with MTB's and other smallish, say shorter than 100 to 120 ft, patrol craft.

Are they the same boats that got lost while operating in the Persian Gulf and then the crews subsequently surrendered to the Iranians?

The initial release seems to be the baseline version - no additional US deck or other weapons - and apparently only comes with Malaysian Navy and Greek Coastguard decals. Presumably other boxings to follow. You need a small arsenal for the US version: 50cal OWS, single 50, twin 50, Minigun and single M240 seem to be fairly normal.

To the list of users can be added the German Navy, who plan to carry CB90 aboard their new fleet replenishment ships.

The Norwegians apparently had at least 1 fitted with a Hellfire launcher adapted from a Protector OWS behind the bridge. But this may just have been a trial. Norwegian grey/grey/brown splinter camo is nice.

There are other interesting small boat options. USN have the Small Unit Riverine Craft (SURC), which is basically an armed RIB and is often seen in company with the RCB. The UK's Offshore Raiding Craft is similar: lots of guns on a RIB. I'm sure there are others.

There is a special USN semi-trailer for the RCB, usually pulled by an MTVR semi-tractor. That would be nice.

Several armed forced including the UK use the Griffon hovercraft.
