A couple of days ago I saw a program on discovery about Hoovercrafts and they showed a little bit footage of the hoovercraft used by the americans in Vietnam. The footage looked really cool a hoovercraft armed with several .50`s and they were moving fast over the rivers and Swamps of Vietnam. Only problem was that they didn`t give much information with it. They almost only showed the footage. Is there more information on this subject and is there a kit available of this...... I think it`s a interesting subject to built

Anybody who can help me out on this???

I think you may have seen the SK 5 PACV.

Here's a cool AC combo diorama in the making

Mail Call had an episode where R Lee Ermey talked about the hovercrafts - can't remember all the details but also check to see if they run the episode again on his History Channel show.
