Also posted this over in the armor group, but since this is the scratchbuilders shed, I'll try here too..

Does anyone out there know of any plans/references for the PACV hovercraft used in Viet Nam?

I'd love to scratchbuild one, but can't quite dredge up enough info/plans to get started.
I have a copy of the Naval Institute Press "US Small Combatants" but it's not enough to get started.
I know that at least 2 in 1/35th scale have been built, having been featured in back issues of MMiR and other publications. Anyone know either of these guys?
