Love it!

An very believable look with lots of delicious details, especially the hovering engines and "suspension" parts.

Is that a Nagmachon or Nagpadon chassis under there?

Beautiful!!  Is there a matching "Carpenter" vehicle?  Reference is to Lewis Carroll's poem.

I started off with the IDF Nagmachon APC kit from Hobbyboss, that I received as a reward for the ‘Random Award’ in November 2017. I then converted the kit into a hover unit using the kits original parts only, making up about 98% of the bulk of the vehicle. The only scratch build parts and foreign items used in this built, was the rear panel, with the rounded exhausts mounted on; a few white styrene here and there, and empty astma canisters used for the four engines. The weaponry were modified and extra parts added to give them a distinctive look from my box of ‘Misc’ model parts from other kits I have collected over the years. The name ‘Walrus’ was given due to the shape and size of the overall look of the vehicle.
