Here are the parts for the "energy packs" and the intake system.
The "energy packs" are assembled. There are four for each side.

Thank you sir! The hover discs are something that @Revell-Fan came up with. So, I have to give full credit to him for the inception.

Here is a quick video showing the Hover Vehicle

Thank you! I am glad that we are able to be the first ones to create and produce a model of this vehicle.
The corporation between the both of you paid off. Its a great looking model.
Thank you sir! There are more versions (actually different colour schemes) to come!The corporation between the both of you paid off. Its a great looking model.
So, here is the next Hover Vehicle in the queue. This is the "EARTH DEFENSE DIRECTORATE" hover vehicle. This vehicle was featured in the "Buck Roger in the 25 Century" series season 1, episode 12 "ESCAPE FROM WEDDING BLISS".
Here is the template for the body. I have to commend @Revell-Fan for doing an ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC JOB on both the colour and registry numbers for this version.
The body is assembled and the front grill is attached in place.
Both the trunk and main storage compartment are attached in place.
The internal formers are assembled.
The internal formers ar eput in place.
The operator's cabin frame, control console is attached in place.

As I mentioned in an earlier post; @Revell-Fan and I were discussing ideas to improve the spoiler/trunk lid. This is what he designed (and what we finally agreed upon).
Here are the parts for the spoiler/trunk lid.
The spoiler/trunk lid is assembled.
I attached the "locking" piece.
Even though the locking piece is attached at 90 degrees to the inside of the lid, it is suppose to be attached on the "angled" side. This will allow it to slide into the truck and "lock" in place. (Yes, I fixed it after I attached it in place.)
I attached the spoiler/trunk lid in place, by gluing the gray piece to the inside of the trunk.
(as you can see I fixed the locking piece.)
The spoiler/trunk lid is closed.
