Hello everybody, this is my comeback build after a nearly two years hiatus and I even think that this is my first RFI ever in this section, having done RFIs in the "target" section (armour 😉) before. Anyway - this kit came to my eyes about three years ago and just because of the strange appearance of the craft I immediately knew that I had to build it sometimes. I didn't have any information about this ekranoplan, I never knew that it existed. The only information I have is from the istruction booklet of the kit. For anybody who is interested - I hope it's legible. Fact or fiction? I don't know. The kit is a typical short run kit, but I enjoyed the build very much. You know what you'll get when you buy such a kit. The parts fit was partially very good, partially not so good, especially the clear parts for the windows and the windscreen were much too big, fuselage interior also. But with a little patience and perseverance all problems could be solved. For more information on the building process please see the WIP: I used mainly MRP colours - white aluminium overall, dark aluminium for the moving parts of the tailplaine and some panels on the floats, chrome for the intake and front grille, titanium for the rearmost panels on fuselage and both floats, I used exhaust metal for the nozzles. The ladder and hatch are painted with Mr. Hobby stainless and the dark areas on the wings are painted with Mr. Hobby iron. Although the instructions call out for chrome overall except the areas on the wings I wanted to have some variety in the metallic shades and I wanted to enhance my abilities on NMF (well...). Enough said, now on to the pics. I hope you like it! Thanks for looking.
