Revell 1:144 scale Ekranoplan A-90 Orijolok (Eaglet).

It's a pretty big model being almost 40 cm long in 1/144 scale! This is a very unusual machine - I am not sure if it should be called an aircraft or a boat.

There are only 37 parts in the kit with nice surface detail although the entire surface appear to be a bit rough and needed some sanding.

The colour scheme is really straightforward and decals are superb as in all Revell's recent offerings. I found several photos of the real machine on Ken Duffey's page  http://www.flankers.co.uk, which helped with weathering of A-90. And you can also see pictures of Ken's scratchbuilt 1:72 A-90!
