Hoverliner - SS Friendship from the 1968 TV Series ‘JOE 90’ created by Gerry Anderson
This giant Hovercarft is featured in the episode ‘Trial At Sea’. It is clearly isnpired by the massive SRN-4 Hovercarft that came into service while the show was in production.
Airfix did a great kit of the SRN4 and I have referenced that tremendous box artwork – by the great Roy Cross - ti cement the real world inspiartion and fictitious sci-fi marvel. (If you look at the parked cars you can see sams’ car. In 1/144th this would be a hefty 16” inch long kit)
I imagine ian Airfix Kit would be in white plastic - the same as the SRN-4, and other ocean liner and aircraft kits.
