Description

Gliding over alien ground

A hovercraft glides on a cushion of air, which makes it a natural fit for a space range in which vehicles explore other planets. Futuron thrived on ideas like this: clean shapes, light colours and technology you understand at a glance. At 93 pieces the set is small, but it shows how a hover vehicle can look in brick form, and it can be assembled in a single afternoon. Space fans get a quick, manageable model with a character of its own.

A pilot for the mission

The one minifigure is the pilot steering the vehicle. Nothing more is needed for a survey run over lunar craters or distant plains. If you own more Futuron sets, you can combine the hovercraft with other vehicles and line up a small fleet. As a collectable it is understated, but that is exactly why it is a nice example of the variety of space sets from the late eighties.

White, black and blue glass

The main colours are white, black, trans-dark blue and trans-red. The see-through parts form the cockpit and glowing panels and give the vehicle its futuristic character. Among the 93 pieces are 36 different types. The parts list on this page helps you find single elements quickly, should you want to complete a second-hand set or plan space models of your own.

Parts for your own designs

Pale plates, slopes and translucent elements are always in demand for space models. With “What can I build?” you can see which models are possible from these parts and your own stock. The hovercraft can become a glider, a lander or part of a base. The transparent elements are particularly practical, because they stand in for cockpits and lights when your own collection lacks pieces in such colours. That gives even a small set a place in bigger projects.
