The Caspian Sea Monster Ekranoplan model kit brings one of history's most unusual vehicles to your workbench. Metal Time Workshop designed this build around the real ekranoplan, the vehicle that once skimmed just above the waves of the Caspian Sea and was mistaken for a prototype flying boat by U.S. satellites. It's a build for anyone who loves aviation history, mechanical puzzles, or a hands-on project that ends with something worth displaying. Makes a thoughtful gift for makers, history buffs, and anyone who likes building things with their hands.
