I've seen a Flying Abrams before (was along the same likes of the lawnmower, stop sign, doghouse and Big Mac)
There is some new WIG toy that looks like a hydroplane but has a prop out front, and has enough lift to fly like a plane... it reportedly can even run on snow and grass like an airboat/swamp-buggy.
Personally, closest I come to this is a Hovercraft or LCM. Still awaiting some company to jump in and fill the hole... 1/16 scale LCM-3 (50' in 1:1 = 37.5" in 1/16")
The Tamiya and Hen Long tankers, and even Kyosho Half-8 JGSDF and TamTech buggy guys would love one. Run the beastie up onto the beach with a tarp'd cover (like on transport trucks) and then have the ramp drop and the vehicle come blasting out of the hull at full throttle, scare the heck out of people.
I have plans at half-scale, but getting 'em cut is problematic... and the Kehrer German ABS one is a bit expensive at 280 Euro for a hull, then add the jet-drives, motors and other gear.
Anyone have some pull with a boat-making company?
