geedubelyer Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Whoa {~cue Twilight Zone music~}.......that's kinda spooky...I was only thinking a couple of days ago why does no model company make hovercraft models :blink: That is just superb blackheart. Marvellous scratch-building. I'd have thought you'd built an injection molded kit if you had n't said! Thanks for posting the photos. Did you do a work in progress thread anywhere? I'd like to see how you went about constructing the various structures. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackheart Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) Thanks guys.. Here's the detail - The PACV bild from a few brands of sheet styrene - The turret from Tamiya Pibber with Eduard PE - The guns from Academy US Machine Gun Set - The sliding side and front window/mirror from cheap plastic card - The prop is from leftover 1/32 scale parts - Masterpiece Models sell this kit in 1/35 scale ( resin ) but for me it's a bit expensive..so I think why not build 1..I build this kit +- 1 month..a lot of try and error to get the shape wright..although it's not 100% accurate but as a beginner like me I'm satisfied with it. - The deflated cusion made from tissue and masking tape - Marking..well..I'm still working on it..ant still minor weathering had to be done - A few things that you cannot see inside such as..drivers/pilots instrument, seats and crew seats. Thanks for all the comment and support Edited July 19, 2010 by blackheart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
