Making Caspian Sea Monster - 1/144 Takom lun-class Ekranoplan

Thanks for making this model. The Caspian Sea Monster is a real airplane. You can still visit this plane on the shores of the Caspian Sea. (obviously)

This is the single member Lun-class Ekranoplan, MD-160. In reality, the "Caspian Sea Monster" title was bestowed on the earlier single member KM class (built 1966, crashed and sank 1980). The Lun craft entered service in 1987, and retired in the late 1990s. A second Lun was partially completed but never finished, and still exists. In July 2020, the MD-160 was towed from a naval base to Derbent, Dagestan, where it is to be displayed in "Patriot Park". The tow ran afoul of an offshore sandbar. The MD-160 was subsequently, in December 2020, moved up onto the beach, where it was then moved further inshore, for the park, in December 2021.

This is not model-making. This is art.

Господи,сколько же времени,сил,терпения и мастерства на это надо...Восхитительно!!! 👍👍👍👍

This is truly a work of art! ...you have managed to portray a weapon of war as a thing of beauty, abandonded, decaying, silent, but still able to instill dread and fear in anyone who lays eyes on it. A fabulous piece...absolutly stunning.....

Fantastic work - this is what I was thinking when I built mine, but I got nowhere near this - outstanding.

Великий Человек, создал эту машину. Великолепнейший мастер, превращает машину в произведение искусства... Честь и хвала Вам, Маэстро 💯

Absolutely astonishing work. I'm beyond amazed!

Потрясающая воображение машина- Лунь! А модель и диорама очень красиво сделаны, правдоподобно

That’s one of the most realistic diorama I’ve ever seen. Bravo.

One of the best diorama builds I’ve ever seen, great video from start to finish. Well done.

Excellent diorama! The figures and excavator really show just how huge this aircraft is.

Это невероятно.. видел его в живую и модель реально передает тот масштаб!! Очень жаль что эта техника сейчас никому не нужна.

you are great at creating ocean and water scenes.. you're method is different than everyone else who's big on YT that I've seen and yours is by far the best.

Очень впечатлило. Автору — браво!!

There is so much talent in this model its unbelievable amazing

Model is one thing, but that atmosphere, lighting, music... Damn... That makes it feel like a real sea monster, beached somwhere in the middle of the steppe. Amazing.

This is a wonderful work, I have been interested in the Caspian monster for a year now, this is an amazing robot of Soviet designers!

Отличная работа всё очень чётко передано 👍👍👍👍👍
