Collector and Investor Standing
This black and white rig pairs a working crane with twin spinning fans. It also includes an expedition truck for hauling cargo, yet the build rarely commands attention within the Technic line.

The Brothers Brick
“On the whole, the Hovercraft is good, but not great. The primary design elements of this model provide the play features that I would expect and want from such a model. I love the spinning rotors, the front ramp, and the cool pilot house. The service truck complements the... More hovercraft quite well.”

Eurobricks
“For what it is supposed to be, this set is doing great! Interesting machine. Lots of (simple) functions. Strong lower bodywork. Nice overall look. At the end, playable set if you are into these types of machines, and if you can get over its issues, most notably the wiggling... More propellers and awkward crane.”
