1/144 Alexeyev KM Ekranoplan - Anigrand

Alexeyev KM Ekranoplan "Caspian sea monster"
http://www.anigrand.com/future_releases.htm

The Ekranpolans were albiet very large (550 Tons) deomonstrators of the "Wing In Ground Effect" principle, neither a boat, nor a plane, They were designed to skim across lakes and potentially larger bodies of water(?) at very high speeds.

This should be some size!
It is meant to be between 90-100m long and upto 30m at its widest, in 1/144 that is in the region on 700 x 200mm!

I would expect bonus items, certianly there are numerous WIG aircraft that could be incoprorated....

It has been speculated for many years that if anyone was to build this, it would be Anigrand. It would appear they have now done so!
