BHC SRN4 Hovercrafts - Swift & Sure - Airfix - Update

Hi Mike

Thansk for the reply - I bought a bag of 100 NScale pre-painted figures off ebay for £4.50 that shipped from Hong Kong - these took about a week to arrive and will do the job for the interior - I shall have the roof half clear on the model with the figures so you can look down into the hull. The cars were bought as a bag of 30 off ebay (N scale again) for £3 in the UK - they are bog standard model rail type scenery add-ons but like the figures, will do the trick just to add detail.

I have the 8 clear plastic 1960's era cars that came with the kits which will be used as boarding and offloading vehicles on the diorama - I think they are an Austin 1100 and a VW Beetle

More pictures shoudl go up on the forum tomorrow

Hi Lee - I dont know if the SRN4 was the same as those in HK - I thought the SRN4 was used only in the UK but I might be wrong there - I will drop some updated pictures onto the forum shortly

I've got one of these kits (unbuilt), I look forward to your updates on the build. By the way, what are you using for figures and automobiles?

Mike

The first hovercraft I ever saw was in Hong Kong Harbor in 1973. Are these the same type?

Since then, I have been fortunate to ride in the cockpit of a USN LCAC. Yes, I am also a big fan of hovercraft. Looking forward to more from your build.
