A great high-quality model will withstand the test of time, and we now announce the return of another popular classic. Originally released as a motorized model that could be enjoyed in the water, Tamiya now re-releases this Vosper Fast Patrol Boat as a static display model kit.
About the Fast Patrol Boat Perkasa
Vosper & Company was a British shipbuilding firm founded in 1871 and came to specialize in small craft. During WWII, the company became well known for their motor torpedo boat designs.After the war, Vosper continued to develop small fast patrol craft, one of which was the Brave Class. These boats were equipped with 3 Bristol Proteus engines, which powered the boat to top speeds of over 50 knots. They were armed with one 40mm Bofors cannon, two 20mmOerlikon cannons, and four torpedoes. The Perkasa was one of several Brave Class boats exported to the Royal Malaysian Navy.
