Definitely captures the moment with the weathering and details.
The one thing that always bothered me was Tamiya coining the name "Pibber" for this model as that made absolutely no sense and as far as I can tell was never used by the crews to describe their boats.
Aside from that I really like the model, have a few in the stash and often wonder what I could do to make a what-if out of the model. Maybe cover over the gun mount on the bow and put a lighter weapon in that position? Or take all of the weapons off and turn it in to a fishing boat? Beach boat with surfboards and water skis?
