Scratch built 'Griffon TDX2000' Hovercraft. As used by Royal Marines in Iraq. 6 Months to build - not yet tested so it could all end in tears in the local park lake !!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes nearly forgot - it it 1/10th scale so measures about 3 feet long.

** Must get a new camera - the colour on these photos is awful!!! **

Nearly finished After a bit more detailing

Great model . Was the 6 month build time just evenings and odd weekends or 6 months of actual build time?
