Finding a material for the hover skirt was difficult. What I finally found was the rubber insulation around a large gauge wire. I pulled out the wires on the inside, because it was too difficult to work with otherwise. I superglued it around the undercarriage, and it held pretty well.
I had to hold it a while, because it wanted to pull away from the sides, but once the superglue set, it worked fine. I liked the color of it as is, so I decided to paint the base coat of the model before attaching the hover skirt. Small cuts could be seen in the area where the ends of the wire meet, but these can be filled with superglue. I probably will do a light black wash over the hover skirt as well, but I wanted to have to paint it as little as possible.
