I took advantage of the toys r us sale and grabbed a true heroes hovercraft. I repainted it and got some stickers. Thought I’d share.

The repaint does wonders! I'd probably swap out the guns for more scaled weapons, but that's just me.

I think this one may be a bit more practical than the Killer WHALE. You can actually carry a vehicle and/or more troops in this one. May have to check out my local TRU and see how much they've dropped the prices.
Agree with Shakka85, I'd swap out some of those over-sized weapons for more 1:18 scale. Haven't really inspected one of these up close. Is there like a bridge/pilot area between the two gun mounts? Jason |

WOW! I seen one of these the other day and I thought of doing the same thing. I wanted to buy one for Joe and one for Cobra!
It would be cool to Pythonize one for Cobra and have a Python Stinger in the front of the hovercraft, if it will fit? What paints did you use? And how and where would you get better scaled weapons for this? Will it float? Thanks! |

There is a seat between the turrets, but it’s not great. I agree about the guns, I don’t have any smaller at the moment, but when I do I’ll make the swap

Nice. I wish I had room for one of these. That's the reason I didn't.

The big missile launchers are a little more of a problem. You could possibly use the howitzer cannons from the WHALE, and just glue the pieces to that pivoting base. I'd also looking at some BBi or World Peacekeeper playsets. They may have something you could kit-bash for those side missile launchers. Jason |

This is very awesome! I agree about the big guns, but even with them it still works for me.

I love this vehicle. For the large side guns on my Custom I cut the guns from a whirlwind and attached those. I also used original whale parts to give it a vintage look.
Pics of what I came up with can be found here.http://www.hisstank.com/forum/5116948-post3714.html
