"Monster" is mine idea of that huge plane that I had never see before.
Unfortunally the link is a russian one, but I had tried to translate some data. "Here are my hands and came up ekranoplana.Ya break a story about it for 3 or 4 parts: a winged-outside (1 or 2 parts), 2-winged inside the 3-winged dock.
In 1987 the water came, "Lun" the first ship of a series of missile-carrying combat WIG weighing 400 tons was the chief designer V.Kirillovyh. The ship was armed with three pairs of cruise missile 3M80 or 80M "Mosquito" (NATO membership designation SS-N-22 Sunburn). The second "Lun" is also being laid as a missile, but the outbreak of the conversion brought about changes, and planned to finish as a life.
The weather was nasty, so the image faded, but certainly there: that is.
Photos will be back many, and many of the same type.
Lun is located on the dock, specially designed for him, 500tonn capacity.

It's not a plane, it's a WIGE. |

That's "Wings in Ground Effect" for those who don't know what a WIGE is. The Russians built several different models of WIGEs for use in the Black Sea. You can see this site for more information on both WIGEs, the Russain models of WIGEs, and others that exist. link |

Takara made two in their Wings of the World series of 1/700 scale aircraft. Long OOP however. Occasionally available via eBay. Al |

I had to admit that I don't know what a WIGE was.
Many thanks for your guidance.
Still a "monster" to me.(smile). Amicalement

Revell made one in 1/144. There is a 1/1200 ship manufacturer who does a couple of different ones as well. |
