Does anyone know if there’s any PBR Mk II or Mk I on display and open to general public in southern California area so that I can spend memorial day long weekend to take some walkaround photos for my PBR project? Thanks.

Vulcan20 If you could send me the photos that you take of the PBR I would appreciate. I have Tamiya´s Pibber and I´ve been waiting to get good references for a long time. The only one that I have is the one of the Verlinden magazine wich for some details is OK.

I checked the link that Ben provided, there's no general public visit/ship tours to the naval bases in San Diego, California area due to security reason. So there's no way that I can take photos during memorial day weekend. I will keep checking with these naval base site for future ship tours. If I got a chance to take photos I will post in Armorama.
