Really awesome work and kudos for posting a rare hovercraft!! I built my scratch-built catamaran in the early 90's in a similar way and have an old Navy hovercraft awaiting assembly.

Hi its about 1/18th scale, as its 45cm wide and 95cm long. The real thing was just under 18m long. [Click here]

What a stunning creation! There is a video of an Axial Jeep driving the actual Rubicon Trail in California... maybe you could pilot this to the Isle of Wight?!
